US Civil War. Quaker gun discovered by Union
US Civil War. Quaker gun discovered by Union forces near Centreville, Virginia, in March 1862. Dummy cannons and other disinformation fooled Union scouts into overestimating Confederate strength in the field. In this photo, a man with a stick is pretending to fire the painted log with a linstock (pole used to hold a match). Photo by George Barnard
