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.

Confederate Hospital and Burial Ground
-- Gettysburg: July 1, 1863 --
The land in front of you has changed considerably since 1863. During the battle of Gettysburg, Jacob Kime and his family lived in a farmhouse located several hundred yards farther down this lane.
During the afternoon of July 1, 1863, the Confederate brigade of General John B. Gordon launched an attack from the Kime farm's fields that was directed at the Union stronghold across Rock Creek on Barlow Knoll, a half mile to your left. Gordon wrote that his brigade moved forward "under heavy fire over rail and plank fences...crossing a creek whose banks were so abrupt as to prevent a passage excepting at certain points...." The brigade then "rushed upon the enemy with a resolution and spirit...rarely excelled."
Almost immediately, the Kime farmhouse and barn were turned into a Confederate hospital for the wounded and dying Georgians of Gordon's brigade. Before the battle, the family had left their property for safety, but Mr. Kime remained in the basement and "plainly heard the mad cry of the soldiers for morphine when the operations were being performed. However, except in rare cases the morphine was too scarce to be used." The Kime family returned after the battle and discovered that their floors were "piled high with arms and legs that had been amputated from the wounded soldiers."
Three Confederates are known to have been temporarily buried on the Kime farm, including Captain William L. McLeod, 38th Georgia Infantry. He was mortally wounded on July 1, during the climactic afternoon attack. These graves were located in an orchard east of the Kime farmhouse.

- GET1_131123_082.JPG: "My thanks are specially due to a citizen of Gettysburg named John Burns who although over seventy years of age shouldered his musket and offered his services to Colonel Wister One Hundred and Fiftieth Pennsylvania Volunteers. Colonel Wister advised him to fight in the woods as there was more shelter there but he preferred to join our line of skirmishers in the open fields when the troops retired he fought with the Iron Brigade he was wounded in three places."
