February 9, 1866 - OUR JOHNSTOWN LETTER

 

January 8, 1866 - OUR JOHNSTOWN LETTER - Disastrous Fire, A Female Spy Lecture & A Bit of a Run-Off

Fire at the plant of A. J. Hawes located at the west end of the Iron Bridge. This would have been located between where the Stone Bridge is now (which wasn't built yet) and the old Iron Train Bridge that was located a few hundred yards above where the Stone Bridge would be built later. This is not to be confused with the pedestrian bridge higher up. In 1889 - the Hawes plant was the site where a lot of the newspaper reporters camped out and wrote up most of their articles. 

Mrs. E.F. Thompson - Famous Union Spy.
