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.

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. SARAMO_080602_03.JPG: Saratoga Monument: Triumphant from their spectacular victory in the Battles of Saratoga, American troops pursued British forces that retreated to these grounds. After a brief siege, the British surrendered, marched down this hill, and laid down their weapons on October 17, 1777 -- a crucial event in winning American independence. One hundred years later -- as America recovered from a divisive Civil War and opened its arms to millions of immigrants -- Centennial celebrations focused on the "noble" Revolutionary War spirit to heal, educate and guide the young country forward, and inspired local citizens to build the 155 ' granite Monument in honor of a hometown victory that helped forge a democratic nation. "Let our hurrying crowd pause for a time before the monument... they will have rest of mind, of body, of nerves and above all, that they find incentive for noble action beyond." -- Ellen Hardin Walworth, 1891 A climb to the top via a stairway of nearly 200 steps provides a panoramic view of the surrounding countryside. Visitors unable to make the steep climb may enjoy a look at a photo book of the Monument's restored features and views from its summit.
