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: Culpeper National Cemetery
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Culpeper National Cemetery is a United States National Cemetery located in the town of Culpeper, in Culpeper County, Virginia. It encompasses 29.6 acres of land, and as of the end of 2005, had 9,880 interments.

History:

During the American Civil War, the territory around the city of Culpeper was defended vigorously by both sides, as it was a strategic point almost exactly between Washington D.C. and the capital of the Confederacy, Richmond, Virginia. Numerous battles took place in the region, including the Battle of Cedar Mountain and the Battle of Chancellorsville. The dead from those conflicts were buried nearby in makeshift grave sites. After the war a reburial program was initiated, and in 1867, Culpeper National Cemetery was established to reinter many of the remains from the makeshift sites. It was originally only approximately 6 acres, bought from a local land owner. Over the years, utility buildings and roads have been constructed. In 1975 another 10.5 acres was donated and in 2001 another plot of 12.3 acres was purchased, which has been developed for future interments.

Culpeper National Cemetery was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.

Notable monuments:

* The states of Maine, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and New York have erected markers dedicated to regiments from those states who had members die in the Battle of Cedar Mountain.
* Armed Forces Monument, dedicated to all men and women who serve in the armed forces.

(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.
