In Response To: Re: R.R .Depot at Allen Mo. ()

My documents are not with me here but,The document I have tells of the telegraph operator signaling off his telegraph telling of Andersons attack.arrivial of the 17th Ill. Cav. at Allen station..Yes, At Renick the telegraph wires were torn down etc.. I could be wrong but I believe that was done buy Todd's command the same week. It does get confusing with them raiding along in this area during this time.The best resource used are the local newspapers of the period.They tend to go in to detail and sometimes add a little more. I'll check and see what info I have here but I don,t believe I can give you the refrences or the sources. My book/writting will be hopefully done next summer for all to enjoy.
