  • Prospect, July 3, John Clarke Russ - Members of the 6th Maine Light Artillery, a Civil War re-enactment group, cover their ears as they touch off the sonorous firepower of a reproduction of a Civil War-era 10-pound Parrott rifle, which was used by both the U.S. Army and the U.S. Navy. Pulling the lanyard to fire the rifled cannon is Pvt. Bill Lannon (left) of Ellsworth. Handling the worm, a device used to remove material from the cannon's bore after it is fired, is Cpl. Ben Trudel (center) of Old Town. With the damp sponge rammer in the crook of his arm is Trudel's father, Sgt. Jim Trudel (right) of Hermon. The Friends of Fort Knox sponsored the historical event, which included a demonstration of Civil War medical practices. <br /> <br /> CAPTION<br /> <br /> Members of the 6th Maine Light Artillery, a Civil War re-enactment group, covered their ears as they demonstrated the sonorous firepower of a reproduction of a Civil War-era 10 lb.
