Another Telling of the Cannon Story

I am reading The Fabulous Leonard Jerome, by his great-granddaughter Anita Leslie. In it the story about the cannon being dropped on the lawn says Mr. Julick, who owned the horses and wagon, is the one who said, “It’s taken 100 men two hours to load it so I don’t see how I am to load it again myself.” Jerome and the other young men had all run away when Johnny showed up.
