| Here is page eight of an 18-page article entitled "The Pennsylvania Railroad In Altoona: 1849-1949." It was published originally in the "Altoona Centennial Booklet" dated August of 1949, page 21. "Altoona was a vital link in the important chain of railroad networks binding the northern states together during the Civil War. It was therefore quite fitting that the Logan House should be selected as a meeting place for the Conference of Loyal War Governors in September, 1862, a meeting which marked one of the turning points of that great conflict." |
