6: McCook's Landing – Union soldiers were aghast at the new
Confederate weapon.
One private was heard to say "They move faster than our lead
balls, we ain't never going to hit 'em."
The photo was taken by Bernard Kempinski on his U.S. Military
Railroads layout and recently displayed at the the NMRA con-
vention in Atlanta, GA where the layout was operated by many
visitors.
