Caption: "Larry Peck hold his cannonball at the edge of the Arkansas River and discuss Oklahoma's "naval battle" that took place behind him. The 8 pound hunk of iron, believed to be a relic of the only naval battle in Oklahoma, is proudly being displayed here by its finder during the anniversary month of the 1864 Civil War engagement that is one of the unusual incidents in state history-when confederate Indian forces captured Union steamboat J.R. Williams on the Arkansas Rover (now part of the Kerr McClellan Arkansas River Navigation System)."
