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. AJHSHM_170601_001.JPG: Home of Andrew Johnson 17th President of the United States Erected by Nolachuckey Chapter DAR, 1926
2. AJHSHM_170601_016.JPG: The Home of the 17th President Andrew Johnson Patterson, son of Martha Johnson Patterson and grandson of President Andrew Johnson, was born and died in this house. To him and his loyal and devoted wife, Martha Barkley Patterson, the nation is indebted for their untiring efforts in preserving the last home of Andrew Johnson. As joint heirs of Martha Johnson Patterson's estate, Andrew Johnson Patterson and wife contributed to the perpetuation of the name and career of Andrew Johnson. The intimate knowledge which they possessed of the furnishings and personalty of the 17th President assisted greatly in presenting an accurately restored Andrew Johnson home.
3. AJHSHM_170601_019.JPG: The Homestead Grounds Andrew Johnson National Historic Site There are no written records describing the Homestead grounds as Andrew Johnson knew them from 1869 until 1875. The earliest descriptions of the landscape during that period come from the oral accounts of Andrew Johnson's descendants twenty-five years after his death. A reporter for Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper describes the Homestead grounds in 1865 before the Johnsons moved back in as follows: "As you pass along the pavement on Main Street, by looking into the lot you see several young apple trees, and in the spaces between them are potatoes growing. In the rear of the kitchen stands a small aspen shade-tree, and down there in the lower end of the lot is a grape vine, trained upon a trellis forming a pleasant bower. Scattered over the lot are a number of rose, currant, and gooseberry bushes. At the lower end of the lot and just outside stand two large weeping willows, and under their shade is a very beautiful spring . . . . " Accordingly to family tradition, the weeping willow trees referred to in the 1865 article were planted by Andrew Johnson in the early 1850s. The trees originated from a cutting given to Johnson by Captain William Francis Lynch, U.S. Navy. Captain Lynch acquired the cutting from a willow tree near the grave of Napoleon, on the Island of St. Helena. The weeping willow trees that you see today are all descendants of those planted by Andrew Johnson.
4. AJHSHM_170601_027.JPG: Preserving the President's Legacy Andrew Johnson National Historic Site " . . . I believe that my Father was the greatest man this country ever produced!" - Martha Johnson Patterson Three generations of Andrew Johnson's family devoted time and effort to preserve his memory and legacy. In 1906, the Johnson family's burial plot became the Andrew Johnson National Cemetery under the War Department. In 1926, the state of Tennessee enclosed Johnson's tailor shop and opened it to the public. Margaret Johnson Patterson Bartlett – Andrew Johnson's great-granddaughter – lived here in Johnson's "Homestead" most of her life. In the late 1930s she traveled to Washington, D.C., to meet with President Franklin D. Roosevelt, his wife Eleanor, and numerous senators about preserving this house. Through the family's efforts, the National Cemetery, Tailor Shop, and Johnson's Homestead were finally added to the National Park system as Andrew Johnson Monument in 1942. "When this bill comes before the Senate, will you give it your affirmative vote?" -- Margaret Johnson Patterson Bartlett, during meetings with politicians in Washington, D.C.
5. AJHSHM_170601_033.JPG: In the late 1950s, National Park Service conservationists returned the Homestead's exterior to its appearance in 1869 when Andrew Johnson returned to Greeneville after serving as the 17th U.S. President. Many of Johnson's original furnishings and personal belongings are inside.
