Re: Notes on Sea-Coast Defence Maj. J.G. Barnard

I have a question. Is the Rodman you refer to the one the big cannon are named for? Just wondering because there is what is known as the 'small Rodman' at Ft Barrancas and the 'big Rodman' at Ft Pickens. I have seen them on their tracks but did not know why they were named as such.
