Gun Tower

Famous quotes containing the words gun and/or tower:

    We got our new rifled muskets this morning. They are mostly old muskets, many of them used, altered from flint-lock to percussion ... but the power of the gun was fully as great as represented. The ball at one-fourth mile passed through the largest rails; at one-half mile almost the same.... I think it an excellent arm.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    Thy nose is as the tower of Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus.
    —Bible: Hebrew Song of Solomon, 7:4.
