I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Description of Subject Matter: In 1862 the Pry house was used as the headquarters of the Army of the Potomac during the battle at the direction of General George B. McClellan, and it was also from this house that Dr. Jonathon Letterman directed the medical department. In addition to these command services, the grounds also served as a field hospital and ambulance park.

Now open in cooperation between the National Park Service and the National Museum of Civil War Medine, the exhibits of the Pry House Field Hospital Museum highlight the history and the use of the Pry House during the battle; the set up and running of the field hospital system; the surgeons, nurses and civilian caregivers who aided the wounded; the officers treated at the Pry House; the effect of the battle on the civilian populations; and the medical innovations of Dr. Jonathan Letterman. One room is a re-creation of a Civil War field hospital scene typical of those established in local homes.

Starting at the Pry House Field Hospital Museum visitors can follow the journey of the wounded through a self-guided driving tour that follows the original trek of the ambulances from the battlefield of Antietam to the general hospitals in the town of Frederick. The tour ends at the National Museum of Civil War Medicine's main location where visitors have the opportunity to learn more in-depth the efforts made to treat the thousands of casualties from this battle and others and to discover the roots of our civilian medical services today of an effective ambulance system, triage and organized first aid in the practice those who showed compassion in the conflict of the Civil War.
