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.

- Wikipedia Description: Battle of Raymond
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Battle of Raymond was fought on May 12, 1863, near Raymond, Mississippi, during the American Civil War. The bitter fight pitted Union Army elements of General Ulysses S. Grant's Army of the Tennessee against garrison forces of General John C. Pemberton's Confederate Department of the Mississippi and East Louisiana in a losing bid to prevent the Federal troops from reaching the Southern Railroad and isolating Vicksburg, Mississippi, from reinforcement and resupply. The ranking Confederate General, John Gregg (CSA), attempted to achieve tactical surprise and rout the Federal force. He was in turn tactically surprised and routed from the field by Federal units under the command of General James B. McPherson. The Union casualties at Raymond comprised 68 killed, 341 wounded, and 37 missing. The Confederate casualties were nearly double: 100 killed, 305 wounded, and 415 captured.
The small battle had an inordinately large impact on the Vicksburg Campaign. Union interdiction of the railroad interrupted Pemberton's attempt to further consolidate his forces and prevented him from linking up with his commanding officer, Joseph E. Johnston. As a result, Pemberton was limited to three options: abandon Vicksburg, withdraw into Fortress Vicksburg and accept a siege, or fight a meeting engagement against a superior force. Facing conflicting orders from his superiors and open insurrection from his subordinates, Pemberton would be forced into the latter choice on May 16, 1863, at the Battle of Champion Hill.

I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com
and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
