EL Cazador 66,

     I really looked that little gem over while it was on Cannonmn's table at the Ohio Artillery Show this year.  It's a really nice tube and the work done by Duck Island Cannon Works is more of their usual excellence.  I'm not a collector, but if I was, I sure would like to have one of those!!!

With seventy gunners be'ind me, an' never a beggar forgets
