[CQ-Contest] Telegraph code in Lincoln movie

[Georgek5kg at aol.com]

Ok, this is not a contesting question, but a curious one  nevertheless.
 
I just saw the Lincoln movie.  In the movie, there was a lot  of scenes of 
telegraph as it was used during the Civil  War.  I am curious to know if the 
code was authentic.  I know  that there is a group of hams who specialize 
in copying the old Morse  telegraph code - they had a booth at Dayton.
