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. LINCDI_130928_11.JPG: Camp at Soldiers' Home "I consider it a great favor and an honor to be thus kept on duty here..." Albert Nelson "A.N." See was born in New York in 1840 but relocated to Pennsylvania to attend Allegheny College. Although See left college to regain his health, he instead enlisted in the United States Army, stating in his autobiography "I was not fit for the army when I enlisted but there were several others that would not go unless I went..." A.N. first enlisted with the 136th Pennsylvania Volunteers. Sidelined once again by health issues in 1863, See continued his service as an Enrollment Officer. When his health improved, A.N. re-enlisted in 1864 with Co. K of the 150th Pennsylvania Volunteers. Co. K, called the "Bucktails" because of the distinctive deer fur they wore on their caps, served as Abraham Lincoln's Presidential Guard from 1862 until the end of the Civil War. Throughout 1864, A.N. kept a diary detailing his observations of wartime Washington, including the July 1864 attack on Fort Stevens, and of President Lincoln and his family at the Soldiers' Home and White House. A.N.'s eye-witness accounts offer a unique and authentic perspective on the Lincoln family and Civil War Washington. After the Civil War, A.N. moved to Kansas and became a minister. He was an active member of Union veterans groups and completed an autobiography in 1921. After his death in 1924, A.N.'s person effects remained with his family until 2009 when his great-granddaughter, Betty Kessler, generously donated them to President Lincoln's Cottage. Following comprehensive conservation treatments, A.N.'s diary and effects are now on public display for the first time in history.

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.
