Stupid Comment Because of the Drawing of the Caisson in Your Post:
The only battlefield I have seen a caisson intact is at Stones River. I have no idea why that is. About 20 yards behind the guns are the caissons with the guns unlimbered to their front.

Image

Stones River is also the only place to display wrecked cannon.

Stones River is a small battlefield but does have some rarities in my mind.

Actually, the park rangers removed that wrecked cannon display. Perhaps as long as ten years ago. The cannon is still there but assembled and in a different location. Too bad I say!

I could have sworn I saw it on my last visit a few years back. I will have to swing past Murfreesboro next time I am over that direction and solve the mystery :)

That is certainly a shame if it was reassembled. Always wanted to see it in person, as it looked really interesting to see "ruined among the rocks"!

Richard - Very cool image from Bentonville! A battlefield that is on my list to visit. Has much development happened around it yet, or is it pretty far from any growth still?

Blake - There's caissons and limbers at Gettysburg, Manassas, Appomattox & Sailor's Creek for ones I've seen in person.

Scott

No Almost none but they are really working hard to expand and Preserve ALL of the Carolina campaign sites.
FT Fisher has a top-notch Visitors Center and Wyse Fork is Being Preserved. The CSS NEUSE is near as well

Bentonville has Many Original Earth works well Preserved
The Carolinas are well worth a look
