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.

1. GETHAV_121111_140.JPG: Pennsylvania Memorial: "Today we dedicate a memorial erected by this Commonwealth as an enduring mark of love and appreciation for all the soldiers of Pennsylvania who fought here." -- Edwin S. Stuart, Governor of Pennsylvania, Memorial Dedication, 1910. On September 27, 1910, Pennsylvanians who had fought at Gettysburg returned for the dedication of this memorial in their honor. Built of Mt. Airy granite, it stands 110 feet high, weighs 3,840 tons, and can be seen from many parts of the battlefield. It is Gettysburg's largest monument. Listed on 90 bronze tables along the base are the names of each of 34,530 Pennsylvania soldiers who participated in the battle. Pennsylvania also erected 123 regimental monuments at other locations on the battlefield. The Southern state did not provide monuments for each regiment, but honored their sons with statewide memorials, may of which may be seen along West Confederate Avenue. The Pennsylvania Memorial under construction in 1910. The structure cost $150,000 with an additional $40,000 in 1911 for statues, walkways, and revisions to the bronze tablets. (1) Goddess of Victory and Peace by Philadelphia sculptor Samuel Murray. The colossal bronze figure holds the sword of victory and the palm branch of peace. (2) Above the triumphal arches are massive granite bas-reliefs by Samuel Murray representing the infantry, artillery, cavalry, and signal corps. (3) The names of distinguished Pennsylvania generals who commanded an army, corps, or division at Gettysburg are inscribed on the cornice. Brigade commanders are recorded inside the arches. (4) Between the Ionic columns stand heroic-scale bronze statues of President Abraham Lincoln, Pennsylvania Governor Andrew Curtin, and six Pennsylvania generals: Meade, Reynolds, Hancock, Pleasonton, Birney, and Gregg. (5) Bronze tablets bear the name and rank of every Pennsylvania soldier who participated in the battle of Gettysburg. Each table represents a regiment (about 400 officers and men). Names of soldiers who were killed are preceded by a star.
