The Pacific Telegraph
By Mark Bowman of BPS
On October 24, 1861 the Pacific Telegraph was completed between New York on the East coast and San Fransisco on the West coast. The first message to travel the route from East to West was from Steven J. Field, Chief Justice of California to Abraham Lincoln. Before the East and West sections were joined in Salt Lake City, Utah, several messages were sent between Salt Lake City and San Fransisco, one of which was the announcement to H.W. Carpenter, the president of the Overland Telegraph Company that Union Col. E.D. Baker was killed in battle.
