Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. FTDOND_040609_08.JPG: This is the surrender house in the nearby town of Dover
2. FTDOND_040609_36.JPG: 13,000 Confederate Prisoners It was a cold day in February 1862. The dejected defenders of Fort Donelson waited on the banks of the Cumberland River to be loaded onto northbound transports. Just two days before, they had cheered as their shore batteries drove off the Union gunboats. Then, against Grant's investing forces, they had fought hard and well. But now their successes seemed meaningless. Before daybreak, their two highest ranking generals had fled, leaving them at the mercy of the Federals. Never before in the Civil War had so many prisoners been taken, and the poorly-clad Rebels boarding the steamboats could only guess what would happen to them. From the shores at Dover, the prisoners were taken 120 miles by steamboat to Cairo. From there, it was a long railroad ride to prison camps in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Massachusetts. After about six months, however, most of them were exchanged for Federal soldiers held in the South.

2004 photos: Equipment this year: I bought two Fujifilm S7000 digital cameras. While they produced excellent images, I found all of the retractable-lens Fuji models had a disturbing tendency to get dust inside the lens. Dark blurs would show up on the images and the camera had to be sent back to the shop in order to get it fixed. I returned one of the cameras when the blurs showed up in the first month. I found myself buying extended warranties on cameras. Trips this year: (1) Margot and I went off to Scotland for a few days, my first time overseas. (2) I went to Hawaii on business (such a deal!) and extended it, spending a week in Hawaii and another in California. (3) I went to Tennessee to man a booth and extended it to go to my third Fan Fair country music festival. Number of photos taken this year: 110,000.
