Abstract:

John Foard, president of Kluttz rings of Gastonia, likely knows more about 12-pound Gun-Howitzers than many Confederate and Union soldiers who used them during the Civil War. An old artilleryman himself, Foard has specialized in the study of weapons used during the Civil War. Foard's research included trips to battlefields, as well as obtaining information on the gun from French archives.
