Lincoln Telegrams

From Wiki

The Lincoln Telegram Wiki is an ongoing collaboration of students and teachers interested in President Abraham Lincoln's use of the telegraph. The project is based at NC State University and directed by John Lee. This wiki contains transcripts of telegram memos produced by President Abraham Lincoln from March 10, 1864 through April 12, 1865. Analysis and transcriptions of the telegram memos are presented here along with Images of the memos. A separate presentation of the telegrams is available from our companion site at http://lincolntelegrams.com
