We've been thru a number of military parks, national battlefields, etc. and cannon are prominent features of the park experience. This, however, is to the best of my recollection, the first time I've seen a field piece in this configuration... ready for transport. This part of the Saratoga Park is near another site of a major action. Indeed, the battlefield is just about 50 yards to our immediate left as we view this gun. Not sure whose side of the field this is supposed to be. I'm going to guess it's the Merkin side simply because the British were loaded down with siege pieces which were not suited for this sort of tussle. Indeed, it was the CO's desire to not lose the siege guns that helped lead to surrender some time after the battle. Simply put, the siege weapons were too heavy to be transported on the roads of those days. General Mud was slowing things down. In contrast this looks to be a 3 or 6 pounder and is more suited for the campaign; got to be easier to move. Note the traction tyres on the wheels... maybe the raised knobs are to slow down wear and tear. Ideas? Enjoy; thanks for viewing. Dang! No one fell for the red herring reference to this being a former Dutch colony. You guys R too smart for a clever weesel. The inscription is, of course, Polish. Jak tam, eh? The mustard is, of course, very good (especially, IMO, with kielbasa).
