Description:There were only 4 or 5 18pdr cannon in the Civil War and apparently one was at Fort Davison where the Battle of Pilot Knob took place in Missouri. Its a very interesting and under-studied battle. Here is a Google Maps photo of the crater left when the Yankees blew their magazine up after skedaddling:
