Cannonball from the war of 1812
This cannonball was fired from Ogdensburg, N.Y. at Fort Wellington near Prescott (Ontario) when it crashed in the Officer's mess. It was picked-up by Colonel D. H. Burritt and fired back, so well aimed that it hit the Ogdensburg court house and was recognized as the same ball.
