Morgan raid and a boy telegraph hero of the Civil War
Norman P. Whith recounts a Civil War incident in which Confederate general John Morgan raided a telegraph station near Corinth. A boy named Jimmie Venable improvised a ten foot telegraph link using a hairbrush and lead pipe, alerting conductors to Morgan’s raid. Morgan rewarded the boy with a five dollar bill, while the United States later paid a larger reward for the boy’s service.
