The
colors of autumn in Gettysburg are offset so perfectly by wooden fences and
stone walls and blue skies, and of course by the occasional Napoleon, Ordnance
Rifle, and Parrott Rifle here and there. This Napoleon belongs to Battery B., 4TH
U. S. Artillery, and is located just behind the recently-renovated Lee’s
Headquarters complex. It was returned to its original position in 2016. This is
such a peaceful scene that I can imagine just camping out here beside the
cannon, painting, sketching, or photographing your surroundings until the chill
of autumn chases you indoors. I don’t believe there’s any season in which
Gettysburg doesn’t show off her beauty.

Pvt.
Noyes enlisted in September 1862 and was a farmer. He was wounded by a shell on
the 3RD of July, and lingered in the Camp Letterman hospital for
more than a month. I was unable to find much information on his life, and
nothing on his burial.
