Cannonball 3.5" Modern Case 5" x 5" x 5.25" Case marked The Alamo. Post Texas Revolution/Pre-Civil War Alamo Cannonball. Reportedly found at the Alamo and stored by the 1st Texas Artillery/Alamo Guards Battery 6 from 1846-1861 Provenance: After Texas joined the Union in 1845, the Alamo was used as a federal military depot. “…The annexation treaty transferred all Texas forts to the U.S. Army. In San Antonio, the U.S. Army decided the old abandoned Alamo mission and fort would be a good location for a regional quartermaster depot to supply the forts guarding the expansive Texas frontier. The Army transformed the abandoned mission. The old convent building or Long Barrack, had been rebuilt and converted into a warehouse for the Quartermaster Department. This cannonball comes with attestation signed by James Anderson that it was found in the Alamo in 1860 by Sergeant Edward Bothwell when Edgar’s Battery was organized there. The battery went on to be named the 1st Texas Light Artiller/Alamo Guards Battery during the Civil War. Anderson’s attestation states that it was in the Brownsville United Confederate Veterans Museum from the 1890s until 1929, when the museum closed. It was “brought home by my grandfather who was the last curator of the museum when it closed down and there was no way to return the displays to the original owners or families.” The Anderson attestation was endorsed by Richard Armstrong, Gallant Pelham Military Antiques in Gore, Virginia on May 3, 2014. He stated in a separate communication that the cannonballs were found by Sgt. Bothwell in the Long Barracks, and included 4-, 6-, 8- and 12-pounders.
