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:
- FTLIN_990125_03.JPG: Old Spring House.
This venerable building dates back to the year 1683, when one of the early colonists built his home on the overlooking hillside. The spring still feeds cool water to the trough inside the Spring House. This was the only method available in those days for cooling milk, butter, and other dairy products.
This land was part of the original grant from Lord Baltimore to George Conn, and remained in the Conn family for more than 200 years. This is one of the oldest buildings in the state of Maryland.
- FTLIN_990125_04.JPG: These earthworks are a portion of the original fortifications which made up Fort Lincoln. This fort was built during the summer of 1861 to serve as an outer defense of the city of Washington. It was named in honor of President Lincoln by General Order No 18... The brigade of Major General Joseph Hooker was the first to occupy this area. In immediate command of the fort was Captain T.S. Paddock. The Civil War cannon have been placed here through the courtesy of the Department of Defense to commemorate the auspicious occasion.

- Description of Subject Matter: Ft. Lincoln Cemetery was named after Ft. Lincoln, one of the circle of forts which protected the Capital during the Civil War. The fort itself was located in DC but it included several protective batteries which ringed it. The ones located here were called Battery Jameson, the remains of which are still visible near the Old Spring house.
In 1792, a survey was made and the District of Columbia boundary marker NE No. 7 was placed here. Around here on August 24, 1814, the disastrous Battle of Bladensburg was fought here. The U.S. marines and flotillamen under the command of Commodore Joshua Barney failed to stop the advancing British and fled the scene, after which the British burned the capital city. In 1861, the property was seized by the United States Government for the location of Battery Jameson (named for Brig. Gen. Charles D. Jameson).
Fort Lincoln Cemetery was chartered in 1912 by an act of the Maryland General Assembly and presently contains 178 acres.

I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com
