Sir, here are some other papers that were not posted on the Railroads & Steam Locomotives forum that might be of value to you...Hello
I am the Project Director of a historical restoration project to do a complete digital re-creation of the 28 mile US Military Railroad from City Point to the battle lines of the siege of Petersburg 1864-65. Our team has been working on this project for a year but research started five years ago. Estimated completion - 2 years plus. I will post information as time allows. The route will be for use at museums, historical institutions and other researchers, as well as versions for release to those in interested in this era and history. The Route will include the complete modelling of the entire area from City Point to south of Petersburg, from the Atlantic coast to the city of Richmond and will include the river systems as we plan to include the naval events of that period of the war, all of the rolling stock, locomotives of the railroad, the military encampments of both sides, in full detail, the 180 military structures built by the construction corps at City Point as well as the town of Hopewell, other towns in the region and as stated, the naval vessels both military and civilian or chartered used as Transports: ironclads, gun boats, converted Ferryboats, tugs, monitors, schooners, ships and steam ships of all classes. The ships and trains will be operable by the user of the digital route and various historic events will be included in the simulation. Needless to say this has required a lot of research which is ongoing, and our staff includes first rate modellers and those skilled at virtual landscape creation. My regards to all here.

The Use of the Telegraph during the Civil War | 19th Century Invention & Innovation
I found where Lincoln gave Grant a pep talk over the telegraph... In the late summer of 1864, as the Union advance on Richmond stalled and Gen. Ulysses S. Grant came under mounting criticism, Lincoln read a fretful telegram from Grant to the Army chief of staff. Reading between the lines, the...
