Feel free to use in publications and pages with attribution but you don't have permission to sell the photos themselves. A free copy of any printed publication using any photographs is requested.

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:
- 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.
- Connection Not Secure messages? Those warnings you get from your browser about this site not having secure connections worry some people. This means this site does not have SSL installed (the link is http:, not https:). That's bad if you're entering credit card numbers, passwords, or other personal information. But this site doesn't collect any personal information so SSL is not necessary. Life's good!
