The U.S. Military Telegraph Corps was formed in 1861 following the outbreak of the American Civil War.
David Strouse, Samuel M. Brown, Richard O'Brian and David H. Bates, all from the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, were sent to Washington, D.C. to serve in the newly created office. In October of that year, Anson Stager was appointed department head. During the war, they were charged with maintaining communications between the federal government in Washington and the commanding officers of the far-flung units of the Union Army. As such, they played a large part in intercepting and deciphering Confederate communications.
Before the outbreak of the Civil War, there were three major telegraph companies in operation. These companies were the American Telegraph Company, the Western Union Telegraph Company, and the Southwestern Telegraph Company.
The American Telegraph Company's lines occupied the entire region east of the Hudson River and ran all along the Atlantic coast down to the Gulf of Mexico. Cities were connected from Newfoundland to New Orleans. From this main backbone, the American Telegraph Company's lines branched west to cities like Pittsburg, Philadelphia, and Cincinnati. At each of these points, the American Telegraph Company's lines met the Western Union lines which occupied much of the remaining northern portion of the U.S. Western Union also extended a line as far west as San Francisco by 1861.
In the southern states, the American Telegraph Company's lines met the Southwestern Telegraph Company's lines at Chattanooga, Mobile, and New Orleans. From these cities, the Southwestern Telegraph Company's lines occupied the rest of the South and Southwest, including Texas and Arkansas.
Due to the dire situation of the railroads and telegraphic communication in Washington,the commercial telegraph lines surrounding the city were seized and Secretary of War Simon Cameron sent a request to the president of the Pennsylvania Railroad to send Thomas A. Scott to get the railroad telegraph service in Washington under control. Scott made his way to Washington and began filling positions to help him manage the railroads and telegraph lines. He asked Andrew Carnegie, who was superintendent of the Pittsburgh division of the Pennsylvania Railroad to assist him. Carnegie obliged and drafted men from his railroad division to accompany him to Washington in order to help the government take possession of and operate the railroads around the capital.
Carnegie's first task when he arrived in Washington was to extend the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad from its old depot in Washington across the Potomac River into Virginia. While extending the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, telegraph lines were built and communication was opened at stations such as Alexandria, Burke's Station, and Fairfax. The first government telegraph line built connected the War Office with the Navy Yard. Carnegie stayed in Washington until November 1861. By the time he left, the military railroad and telegraph operations were running smoothly.
Along with the appointment of Carnegie, Colonel Scott made a demand for telegraph operators who excelled at running trains by telegraph. Colonel Scott called on four telegraph operators from the Pennsylvania Railroad to report to Washington. These operators were David Strouse (who later became the superintendent of the Military Telegraph Corps), D.H. Bates, Samuel M. Brown, and Richard O'Brien. The four operators arrived in Washington on April 27, 1861. Strouse and Bates were stationed at the War Department; Brown was stationed in the Navy Yard; and O'Brien was stationed at the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad depot, which was for some time army headquarters. Thus, these four men made up the initial United States Military Telegraph Corps, which would ultimately grow to a force of over 1500 men.
Although the U.S. Military Telegraph Corps played a prominent role in transmitting messages to and from commanders in the battle field, it functioned independently from military control. As mentioned above, the U.S. Military Telegraph Corps employed civilian operators out on the battle field and in the War Department. Only supervisory personnel were granted military commissions from the Quartermaster Department in order to distribute funds and property. All of the orders the telegraph operators received came directly from the Secretary of War. Also, because there was no government telegraph organization before the Civil War, there was no appropriation of funds by Congress to pay for the expenses of erecting poles, running cables, or the salaries of operators. As a result, the first six months that the U.S. Military Telegraph Corps was in operation Edward S. Sanford, president of the American Telegraph Company, paid for all these expenses. He was later reimbursed by Congress for his generosity.
Serving as a U.S. Military Telegraph Corps operators, whether in the field or in the War Office was a hard and thankless job. They encountered the constant threat of being captured, shot, or killed by Confederate troops whether they were establishing communications on the battle front, sending messages behind during a retreat, or venturing out to repair a line.
Telegraph operators faced a casualty rate of ten percent, a rate similar to the infantry men they served with. Added to these dangers was the strenuous relationship the operators had with the military commanders they served under. Many of the commanders resented the Military Telegraph Corps operators because they were not members of the military, but employees of the Quartermasters Department.] As a result, these commanders felt that the operators were not fit to serve with them and ultimately distrusted these men.
Although the job of an operator in the War Office was not as dangerous, it was still a demanding job. The operators had to be quick and intelligent when receiving messages. Important messages were sent using cipher codes. The cipher-operators had the major responsibility of decoding these viable pieces of information and moving the information along to higher-ranking officials or President Lincoln, who frequently visited the Military Telegraph office in the War Department building.
Along with decoding Union telegrams, the cipher-operators also had to decode Confederate ciphers. By decoding the Confederate cipher codes, plots such as setting fire to major hotels in New York City were averted.
The U.S. Military Telegraph Corps operators served courageously during the Civil War. But, because these men were not members of the military, they did not receive recognition or a pension for their services, even though the supervisory personnel did because of the military commissions they received. As a result, the families of those men killed in action had to depend on charity to continue on. The operators of the U.S. Military Telegraph Corps were not recognized for their service until 1897, when President Cleveland approved an act directing the Secretary of War to issue certificates of honorable service to all members (including those who died) of the U.S. Military Telegraph Corps. But, this certificate of recognition did not include the pension these men passionately sought.[

Two women (in 2nd row) are shown in a group photo cropped from a much larger group photo taken in front of the U.S. Capitol in 1961 for the DC Transit Company.
According to one source, the unidentified women were asked to take clerical work or retire as streetcar service in the nation's capital drew to a close in 1961.
The transit company was hit with a severe shortage of streetcar and bus operators during World War II, but refused to hire African American operators.
In an attempt to fill the shortage, Capital Transit hired white women as streetcar and bus operators from 1943-45. A few of the women continued to operate until streetcars were phased out in Washington. The last streetcar ran in 1962.

Vietnam Travel Agency can make or break your trip. You may cope with copycat ones, dishonest policies and full of hidden costs. So consider these tips, be wise and don’t let them ruin your trip in a blink of an eye!
Why you should book a tour from Vietnam Travel Agent?
Vietnam offers so many marvelous attractions from North to South – from Hanoi, Halong Bay, Ninh Binh to Ho Chi Minh City, Nha Trang, Danang and Hoi An. And definitely worth a visit!
Nowadays, you can find everything on the Internet to do some research about the place before taking any trip. The information is massive and helpful in most cases. But there are still many regulations and things that you are not aware of.
Despite your thorough researches, the knowledge and experience of local experts are some way more worthwhile and can help you make the most of your trip to Vietnam.
That is why you need a Vietnam travel agency to bring you the best and original experiences. Moreover, help you avoid some confusions and unexpected situations!
Local experts from the travel agency can help you avoid many unexpected situations and scams. Especially first-time visitor!
However, tourists may suffer from some “bad” travel agent with dishonest policies and hidden fees. Honest Vietnam travel agencies do exist and with tips and lists below, we hope you can find a reliable one that brings you the best of Vietnam!
Ultimate tips to choose a travel agency in Vietnam
Are these Vietnam travel agencies authentic?
The first thing you have to do is make sure the travel agency is authentic. For example, when searching for Original Ninh Binh Tours, you may find some “same same” name like Original Ninhbinh Tour. Then, you book a tour from the copycat travel company without noticing the difference.
Authentic travel agency means authentic experience from local experts.
So what to pay attention to?
Clear information: address, mobile phone number, email… You can find it on their Contact page.
Website: the best reflection of the agency’s quality. A functional website takes a lot of time and money. The good website can indicate that they offer quality services for customers.
Helpful travel guides: Travel guides provide tourist some inspiring and before-hand information of the trip. Articles need much time and effort to be done. While some “bad” travel agency just tries to take your money without providing any advice and guide!
Cancellation policy: a good travel agency will offer you cancellation and refund policy even if you have made some payment. Find this in tour’s information.
Double check the Vietnam tour operator for what includes and excludes
You need to pay attention to what includes and excludes in their tour details. Some tours will not cover all the ticket and fee.
For example, some tours to Bai Dinh pagoda don’t include the entrance ticket and electric car fee which should be all included.
If the tour do not include electric car ticket, you will have to pay on your own or walk a long distance under the sun to reach Bai Dinh gate
Things need to be included: 2-way transportation, meals, entrance tickets indicated in the itinerary and water.
Or you can ask the travel agency/tour operator about all inclusions and terms before making any payment. Make sure the agency give you clear terms of the tour in writing (or through email) without hesitation.
Keep an eye on your booking with Vietnam travel company
After making payments, the travel agency is responsible for providing you final itinerary planning, guides and supports before, in and after your trip to Vietnam. If they don’t provide you these, please reconsider (as you can get a refund).
And when in Vietnam, remember to keep all the contact information with your travel agency and tour guide in case of unexpected happens.
Read Vietnam travel agency review
You can find reviews of Vietnam travel agency Tripadvisor and search on Google Maps. It is better to hear what previous customers say for some rough idea about the travel companies. Whether they are trustworthy or not!

During our tour of B Reactor at Hanford Nuclear Reservation, we spent time in the Control Room. The tour participants had the option of trying out the Operator chair. The Operator job was so stressful and so important, operators worked for one hour shifts. They felt the weight of the fate of the nation on their heads as this plant produced the plutonium used to bomb Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Not to mention that since this was the first nuclear production facility in the world, all systems were new and untried.
