Artillery lends dignity to what would other wise be a vulgar brawl.

Thanks for the post, Owen. Every "ICOMAM Magazine" issue usually contains at least a few good articles on black powder artillery subjects.  Forum member Bob Smith and his wife Ruth Rhynas Brown serve as editors of the magazine, and they're both respected independent scholars in the field of historic artillery. Ruth Brown also puts out the "Basiliscoe Mercury," an internet newsletter that also usually offers up some good stuff about BP artillery.
RIP John. While on vacation July 4th 2013 in northern Wisconsin, he was ATVing with family and pulled ahead of everyone and took off at break-neck speed without a helmet. He lost control.....hit a tree....and the tree won.  He died instantly.

The one thing that you can almost always rely on research leading to, is more research.

In this latest issue (No. 6) there are two interesting articles: One by Ruth Rhynas Brown about British cast iron cannon found in Oman, and the other about the 'Shuvalov' howitzer with an elipsoid shaped bore, that many of us know from pics taken at the St. Petersburg artillery museum.
