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. MONOVT_190731_001.JPG: They Became Heroes: The Tenth Vermont Volunteer Infantry
2. MONOVT_190731_041.JPG: The Tenth Vermont Infantry mustered into service on September 1, 1862, with 1,016 men. The Tenth served in the III Corps until it disbanded, after which, they were assigned to the VI Corps in June of 1863. The regiment remained with the VI Corps for the remainder of the war, serving in both the Army of the Potomac and Army of the Shenandoah. They mustered out in Washington, DC on June 22, 1865, with 464 men. Over the course of their service, the Tenth saw action in at least 21 battles.
3. MONOVT_190731_061.JPG: Three men from the 10th Vermont received a Medal of Honor (two are included in a separate panel). Colonel William W. Henry received a Medal of Honor for his action at the Battle of Cedar Creek, October 19, 1864. He resigned from service for health reasons in December of 1864. A total of 2,090 soldiers served in the regiment throughout the course of the war. Tenth Vermont Casualties during the Civil War September 1862 - June 1865. Killed in Action ... 91 Mortally wounded ... 58 Died of disease ... 153 Died in Confederate prisons ... 32 Died from accidents ... 2 Total deaths ... 336 Total wounded ... 406 Total taken prisoner ... 71 Deserted ... 58
4. MONOVT_190731_107.JPG: Post-War, many soldiers joined organizations such as the Grand Army of the Republic and attended reunions. Some reunions were at the battlefields themselves, particularly if they were unveiling a monument dedicated to their regiment or it was a special anniversary. This was a way for them to reconnect with fellow soldiers and friends who had a shared experience likely no one else could truly understand. These actions showed their solidarity and patriotism for a country many had sacrificed so much for.
5. MONOVT_190731_144.JPG: In the early summer of 1889 Union veterans organized the Monocacy Monument Association. A reunion held in Frederick on July 9, 1889, the 25th anniversary of the battle, raised $5,000 for the association which planned to erect a commemorative monument on the battlefield. New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Vermont did build monuments on the battlefield. The state of Vermont dedicated their monument honoring the 10th Vermont in 1915.
