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.

Help? The Medium (Email) links are for screen viewing and emailing. You'll want bigger sizes for printing. [Click here for additional help]

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. DORCVC_170317_008.JPG: Cambridge Originally part of the Choptank Indian Reservation laid out for them in 1669. Cambridge was made a port of entry by the Assembly in 1684. It is one of the few towns authorized at that early date that has survived.
2. DORCVC_170317_011.JPG: Maryland's Eastern Shore Hundreds of Enslaved and Free Black Men Enlisted Although isolated from Maryland's largest population centers, the Eastern Shore was important to the state's role in the Civil War and exemplified the citizens' divided loyalties. In the years before the war, enslaved African-Americans here began escaping bondage via the Underground Railroad to the North and Canada, helped on their way by sympathetic blacks and whites and such courageous "conductors" as Harriet Tubman, an Eastern Shore native. During the war, hundreds of enslaved and free black men from the Eastern Shore enlisted in the United States Colored Troops, the black units authorized in January 1863 when President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation. Afterward, returning black veterans established towns and emancipation celebrations that still survive today. Some of the Shore's white residents held fast to the Union, while others supported the Confederacy. Although combat bypassed this area, families here as elsewhere suffered the loss of their men as well as the hardships of war. Newspaper publishers suspected of disloyalty to the Union were arrested. Streams and towns on both sides of the Chesapeake Bay became smugglers' havens as enterprising watermen ran the Federal blockade to supply Confederate forces. When the conflict ended, Eastern Shore residents returned to their fields and fishing vessels, and the passions of war subsided. Please drive carefully as you visit Civil War Trails sites on Maryland's Eastern Shore.
3. DORCVC_170317_017.JPG: Company of the 4th USCT, one of several infantry units formed in Maryland
4. DORCVC_170317_019.JPG: The steamer Maryland was commandeered for the US Army in the spring of 1861. It transported supplies and soldiers north and south.
5. DORCVC_170317_022.JPG: Discover: Dorchester Boarded by two rivers that flow into the Chesapeake Bay, Dorchester County is graced with expansive marshes, fertile farmland, and scented pine forests. Here on the south shore of the Choptank River, the county seat of Cambridge boasts the only deep water port on Maryland's Eastern Shore. Just 15 miles east of Cambridge, the historic town of Vienna sits on the banks of the Nanticoke River. It was near there that English explorer Captain John Smith met and traded with the native people in 1608. Today, with its historic homes and scenic riverwalk, Vienna is a stop on the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail. The Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail traces Smith's explorations along Chesapeake waterways, bringing people in touch with the Bay's rich natural landscapes and human stories. Join the Adventure www.tourdorchester.org. Welcome to the Heart of Chesapeake Country: ?my father used to say that the real Eastern Shore begins on the south bank of the Choptank River."

20. DORCVC_170317_253.JPG: This was the picture of the visitor center in the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway brochure. While the picture's accurate, it's bizarre that they picked a shot showing the visitor center to be closed. I reported the issue and offered my own photo as a replacement.
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.
