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. LINHOM_090926_446.JPG: The Lincolns Buy A Home, May 2, 1844: A little more than a year after their marriage, the Lincolns contracted with the Reverend Charles Dresser to buy his Eight Street house, which had been built in 1839. On May 3, 1841, the sale was completed. The Lincolns then moved into the only home they would ever own. The purchase price was $1,500 consisting of $1,200 in cash plus a downtown lot and building worth $300.
2. LINHOM_090926_448.JPG: The Lincolns Remodel, 1846-1854: Upon his return from Congress in 1849, Lincoln contracted with John R. Roll to whitewash four ceilings and the kitchen, do some plastering work, and repair several hearths. All the fireplaces, except the one in the sitting room, were bricked in and fitted with stoves, then becoming popular.

Wikipedia Description: Lincoln Home National Historic Site
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lincoln Home National Historic Site preserves the Springfield, Illinois home Abraham Lincoln lived in from 1844 to 1861, before becoming the 16th President of the United States. The presidential memorial includes a four-block historic district surrounding the home and a visitor center.

The house, purchased by Lincoln and his wife, Mary Todd Lincoln in 1844, was the first and only home that Lincoln ever owned. Located at the corner of Eighth and Jackson Streets, the house contains twelve rooms spread over two floors. During the time he lived here, Lincoln was elected to the House of Representatives, in 1846, and elected as President, 1860.

The home and Lincoln Tomb (also in Springfield) were designated National Historic Landmarks on December 19, 1960, and automatically listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 15, 1966. The home and adjacent district became a National Historic Site on August 18, 1971 and is administered by the National Park Service. As of 2007, it is the only National Park Service property in Illinois. In total, the buildings included in the park make up 12 acres. Per the wishes of his eldest son Robert, admission to the home is free. Donations are accepted.
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.
2009 photos: Overnight trips this year: Niagara Falls, NY, New York City, Civil War Trust conferences in Gettysburg, PA and Springfield, IL, and my 4th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including Los Angeles, Yosemite, Death Valley, Kings Canyon, Joshua Tree, etc). Ego strokes: I had a picture of a Lincoln-Obama cupcake sculpture published in Civil War Times and WUSA-9, the local CBS affiliate, ran a quick piece on me. A picture that I took at the annual Abraham Lincoln Symposium appeared in the National Archives' "Prologue" magazine. I became a volunteer with the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Equipment this year: I mostly used the Fuji S100fs. I've also got a Nikon D90 and a newer Fuji -- the S200EHX -- both of which are nice but I still prefer the flexibility of the Fuji. Number of photos taken this year: 417,000.
