Western Union Telegraph Expedition - Henry M. Bannister

About the Project

Just three letters from Henry Bannister are found in the Western Union Telegraph Expedition Papers collection and yet they speak volumes about the early going of the expedition's science corps. Bannister served as assistant to team leader Robert Kennicott, who scrawled a personal note to Smithsonian Assistant Secretary Spencer Baird onto Bannister's December 1865 letter. Join in this transcription project and learn about the official and the 'unofficial' news from the field.
