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.

Description of Subject Matter: Vicksburg National Cemetery was established by an act of Congress in 1866. It serves as a final resting place for United States Soldiers that gallantly served the country in a time of national and international conflict. Vicksburg National Cemetery has the distinction of having the largest number of Civil War interments of any national cemetery in the United States. Of the approximate 17,000 Union veterans, only 5,000 are known.
The soldiers that succumbed to wounds or disease as a result of the Civil War were typically buried close to where they died. If the name of soldier was known, their grave was marked with whatever materials were on hand. The most common method was etching the name onto a board.
After the establishment of the Vicksburg National Cemetery extensive efforts were made to locate the remains of the Union Soldiers throughout the Southeast and move them to Vicksburg for reinterment. By the time this occurred many of the wooden markers had faded or were lost to the elements making identification impossible.
The national cemetery also has veterans from the Mexican and Spanish-American Wars, World War I and II, and the Korean Conflict. The cemetery is closed and no longer accepts burials. The last reservation was made in 1963.

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.
