This site has several legends about the same Napoleon 12-pounders. You can dismiss most of them easily as typical stories people invent regarding cannons.

The curious part of this article, to me, is how someone associated 12-pounder Napoleon registry number 121 with a specific weapon used by a MA unit at Gettysburg. Is this from some published history book, or the OR's perhaps?
