Horseshoe Bend - Gun Hill

		Gun Hill Just before the battle, Jackson place two small cannons - a 3 pounder and a 6 pounder - here and trained them on the barricade. Today a lone cannon stands watch over the battlefield. A monument was erected here in 1918 to commemorate the battle. The granite monument was hauled to the site by ox and wagon. It is inscribed with the wrong date of the battle.
