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:
1. CLEMEN_070827_040.JPG: Three Rivers Heritage Trail: Allegheny City: In the early 1700s, the Allegheny River formed a boundary: lands claimed by European nations were to the east, and lands claimed by Native Americans were to the west. Near this site in 1783, James Robinson, the first permanent European settler on this side of the river, built a log house and ferry boat landing. Four years later, a new town called Allegheny was laid out as an English village with a town square surrounded by a commons. After the Pennsylvania Canal from Philadelphia was built through the town in 1829, Allegheny evolved from an agricultural village to a thriving industrial city. Red brick cotton mills, an iron works, and other factories lined the riverfront. After the Civil War, the citizens of Allegheny transformed their village commons into a beautiful, landscaped park system. While Pittsburgh was the "Smoky City," Allegheny was the "City of Parks" with over 100 acres of parklands. The Allegheny Commons became one of the first public parks west of the Allegheny Mountains. Designed in 1869, the park continues to exhibit a beautiful urban landscape design. Pittsburgh and Allegheny City were twin cities until 1907 when Pittsburgh became the nation's eighth largest city by annexing Allegheny.
2. CLEMEN_070827_059.JPG: Three Rivers Heritage Trail: Early Baseball in Pittsburgh: Pittsburgh's great baseball tradition began here more than a century ago. Pittsburgh and Allegheny (now the North Side) were twin cities that played out their local rivalry through "turf sports." The first ball park was an exhibition ground built in 1875 as art of the Tradesmen's Industrial Institute, later Exposition Park. A disastrous fire in 1883 destroyed Exposition Park's buildings, but the field re-opened for baseball. From these early games, the Pittsburgh Pirates were formed in 1891. The Pirates became one of the nation's most important and successful teams, winning the National League Pennant three years in a row between 1901 and 1903. The first World Series was held in Pittsburgh and Boston in 1903. Hall-of-Famers Honus Wagner and Cy Young were among the players. In 1909, the Pirates defeated the Chicago Cubs in the last game played in Exposition Park on the North Side. Baseball fans stood for Taps at the end of the last play before the team moved to a new ballpark in Oakland called Forbes Field.

4. CLEMEN_070827_099.JPG: First World Series In October 1903, National League champion Pittsburgh played American League champion Boston in major league baseball's first modern World Series. Boston won the best-of-9 series, 5 games to 3; prominent players included Pittsburgh's Honus Wagner and Boston's Cy Young. Games 4 through 7 were played near this site at Exposition Park, Pittsburgh's home from 1891 to 1909.
