See the [Creative Commons] definition of what this means. "Photos (c) Bruce Guthrie" is fine for attribution. (Commercial use folks including AI scrapers can of course contact me.) Feel free to use in publications and pages with attribution but you don't have permission to sell the photos themselves. A free copy of any printed publication using any photographs is requested. Descriptive text, if any, is from a mixture of sources, quite frequently from signs at the location or from official web sites; copyrights, if any, are retained by their original owners.

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.

- LINCOV_131231_28.JPG: Tad Lincoln's Photo Album of the 150th Pennsylvania
For Thomas "Tad" Lincoln, the Bucktails filled a significant void after the death of his older brother Willie. The Bucktails showed their humor and affection for Tad by declaring him third lieutenant -- inviting him to wear a uniform, drill on his pony, and "take mess" with the soldiers. Private AN See reflected that Tad "seemed as much at home with us as though he was one of us, and we could not have thought more of him if he had been a brother."
The Bucktails presented Tad with this album, which includes photographs of each of the one hundred members of Company K, taken at Mathew Brady's Washington DC studio.
Many years later See wrote to Robert Lincoln, Tad's only surviving brother, asking if he could have the album. Robert declined, explaining that of all of his youngest brother's possessions the album was Robert's favorite. It reminded him of Tad, and "showed the esteem the men who knew him best placed on him."
- LINCOV_131231_44.JPG: Abraham Lincoln's Briefcase
President Lincoln spent considerable time developing his biggest ideas about emancipation, the Civil War, and the future of the country, often creating several drafts in the process. While living at the Cottage, Lincoln regularly commuted to the White House and War Department, conducting business everywhere he went. It is well documented that Lincoln brought his work home to the Cottage with him each evening. Lincoln used this leather portfolio to carry his papers back and forth on his daily commute.
- 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.
- Connection Not Secure messages? Those warnings you get from your browser about this site not having secure connections worry some people. This means this site does not have SSL installed (the link is http:, not https:). That's bad if you're entering credit card numbers, passwords, or other personal information. But this site doesn't collect any personal information so SSL is not necessary. Life's good!
