Five children sit astride an old Confederate cannon in the Court House Square at Livingston, Alabama, the seat of Sumter County. Many Southern towns placed surplus or decommissioned artillery on courthouse grounds in the decades after the Civil War, where it served as a local war relic and a place for children to play. The caption card names T.H. Wildman as the photographer but records no date, so the picture cannot be dated precisely. Its catalog tags also point to Confederate flags, a reminder of how closely the courthouse square was tied to local memory of the war.
