Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
AJHSVC_050305_28.JPG: The Tailor Shop:
It was in this tailor shop that Andrew Johnson began a political career that would lead him to the White House. When Johnson purchased the shop, it was located on or near Main Street and he then moved it to its present location. Its frame structure is covered in yellow poplar weatherboarding and its interior walls are covered with wide pine boards.
AJHSVC_050305_78.JPG: The Final Years:
Johnson returned to Greeneville in 1869 after Ulysses S. Grant was inaugurated. Determined to prove that his course as president was justified, Johnson campaigned -- however, unsuccessfully -- for the United States Senate in 1869 and the U.S. House of Representatives in 1872. Finally, in January 1875, he was chosen to represent Tennessee in the United States Senate.
News of Johnson's victory attracted national attention because no ex-president had ever returned to serve in the Senate. During the special session of the Senate in March 1875, Johnson spoke out against the Reconstruction program and the political corruption of the Grant administration.
A few months later while visiting his daughter, Mary Stover Brown, at her farm in Carter County, he suffered a stroke that left him paralyzed. Four days later, on July 31, 1875, Andrew Johnson suffered a second stroke and died. He was sixty-six years old. Friends and relatives brought his body back to Greeneville to be buried atop Signal Hill, now known as Monument Hill.
Vindicated at Last:
When Johnson removed Stanton in defiance of the Tenure of Office Act, he believed the act unconstitutional. This view was vindicated in 1926 when the Supreme Court ruled it so.
Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.)
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.

2005 photos: Equipment this year: I used four cameras -- two Fujifilm S7000 cameras (which were plagued by dust inside the lens), a new Fujifilm S5200 (nice but not great and I hated the proprietary xD memory chips), and a Canon PowerShot S1 IS (returned because it felt flimsy to me). I gave my Epson camera to my catsitter. Both of the S7000s were in for repairs over Christmas.
Trips this year: Florida (for Lotusphere), a driving trip down south (seeing sites in North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, and Georgia), Williamsburg, and Chicago.
Number of photos taken this year: 147,000.
