When Robert Ford sends a telegram announcing that he has killed Jesse James, he goes into an American Telegraph Company office and uses an American Telegraph blank. The blank correctly identifies E. S. Sanford as American Telegraph's president, but the date (1882) is wrong. American Telegraph merged with Western Union in 1866. American Telegraph's lines ran along the Eastern seaboard, from New York to New Orleans. St. Joseph, Missouri, was in the territory of Illinois & Mississippi Telegraph Company, which later merged with Western Union.
