Early 1878 Telegraph Rumors and Political Notes
A chaotic summary of dispatches from January 1878 touches on military movements near Fort Walsh and the Milk River region, disputes over coinage policy, and timber resources along the Union Pacific. It notes Sitting Bull and Spotted Eagle activity, Nebraska politics, and a Gettysburg moment where Lincoln’s speech arises in conversation with Asa Howard.
