Telegrapher remembers Lincoln. Didn't someone just write a book, Mr. Lincoln's Telegraph? It seems that he might have drawn on this article for inspiration.

Cute title of book is "Lincoln's t-mails."
My family subscribed the American Heritage from 1967 on. You can blame them for my interest in history. Anyone remember the cool maps with tiny soldiers on them?

I had a book with those maps on it.. they were great for a beginning to understanding the war. And of course as a kid I always liked all the little dead guys... I'm so morbid.
