In 'The Gun', C.S. Forester tells the story of an eighteen-pounder bronze cannon abandoned by the Spanish army during the Peninsular War. A group of Spanish guerrillas finds it and sees in it an opportunity to fight against the French. However, they must first move it across the mountains, using only a handful of donkeys and half-starved oxen. As the cannon advances, it acquires an almost mystical significance for the growing force that surrounds it, transforming the Spanish irregulars into an army capable of facing Napoleon's troops.
