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. SPRINC_080417_020.JPG: American Revolution memorial: During the Revolutionary War, almost 232,000 patriots served in the Continental Army, with over 164,000 more serving in the militia. Many more also served in civilian positions. This marker is to commemorate all those patriots who served our nation during that war. Thousands gave their lives, and all sacrificed, so that we may live free. We must never forget them. Erected in 1999 by the Ozark Mountain Chapter, Sons of the American Revolution and the Rachel Donelson Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution.
2. SPRINC_080417_027.JPG: This Monument was erected under the provisions of the last will of Dr. Thomas J. Bailey, to show his love for the Union and its gallant DEFENDERS.
3. SPRINC_080417_042.JPG: "The Union, The Constitution, and the enforcement of the Laws." A FAVORITE QUOTATION OF DR. T.J. BAILEY, Erected under direction of J.W. D.L.E., Mach (?) Executor.
4. SPRINC_080417_047.JPG: THEY SACRIFICED THEIR LIVES TO DEFEND OUR HOMES. They are our dead, with grateful hearts we will REMEMBER THEM.
5. SPRINC_080417_053.JPG: IN HONOR TO And in memory of The Citizens And Volunteer SOLDIERS WHO WERE KILLED AND DIED OF [the above line is the new one -- I have no idea what had been in place of this line before they fixed it] wounded received in defence of SPRINGFIELD Mo. Against the Rebels, January 8, 1863.
6. SPRINC_080417_064.JPG: Union memorial (2003) In memory of the Union soldiers who gave their lives in battles and skirmishes in the Springfield Area, and those who died of wounds and disease in the city's hospitals during the Civil War, 1861-1865. When their country called, U.S. Regular Army troops and volunteers from Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Illinois, Arkansas, Indiana, Ohio, Colorado and Wisconsin bravely marched to battle in southwest Missouri and northwest Arkansas. Many made the ultimate sacrifice to preserve the Union and end the institution of slavery. Hundreds of these soldiers now rest in the hallowed ground of the Springfield National Cemetery. Some are unknown, except to God. May the people of the United States never forget these men and their belief that a united country was more precious than life itself.
7. SPRINC_080417_147.JPG: Those who die for a right principle do not die in vain
8. SPRINC_080417_149.JPG: August 10, 1984 This table is dedicated by the Veterans Administration to the United Daughters of the Confederacy, Missouri Division, for actions taken to remove deed restrictions on 485 unoccupied Confederate gravesites in Springfield National Cemetery. This relinquishment of these gravesites for use by all veterans and their dependents serves as a symbol of reunification of purpose for memorializing all who have honorably served this great nation without regard to past differences -- Confederate and Union alike.

12. SPRINC_080417_263.JPG: During the Civil War, Union soldiers battled organized Confederate armies and partisan bands for control of southwest Missouri and northwest Arkansas. Facing superior numbers of the enemy, Union troops suffered defeat at Carthage (July 5, 1861) and Wilson's Creek (August 10, 1861), but finally secured Springfield on February 13, 1862. Using the city as a supply base, Union commanders launched campaigns to prevent Confederate forces from reoccupying the region. On January 8, 1863, Union units led by General E.B. Brown heroically repulsed an attack on the city by Confederates under General John S. Marmaduke. Springfield remained in Union hands for the remainder of the war. Erected in 2003 by Phelps Camp No. 66, Department of Missouri, Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War.
