Rose from his employer Buffalo & State Line Railroad 1859 , and two 1861 , then he went on to Serve in the Civil War as a Telegraph Operator for general Hancock Luther Rose was a telegraph operator assigned to the 2nd United States Corps or as it was known, Hancock’s Corps. During the battle of Spotsylvania Hancock was taking a heavy counterattack from the Confederates and stated that he would now be able to hold their ground unless Major General George Gordon Meade and the VI Corps could support him from the right. Rose recorded in his diary “the 6th Corps was thundering away & Hancock held his own…. Here the Telegraph came forcibly into play, showing to what great benefit it could be used.”Rose later described his telegraph instrument as “the principal channel” through which passed the orders determining the movements of Hancock’s corps during the Wilderness campaign. Similarly, Meade later recalled that, on July 30, 1864, he had sent or received over 100 telegrams during the ill-fated, five-hour Battle of the Crater at Petersburg, or one every three minutes. Rose himself operated from an artillery battery during the engagement, demonstrating the utility of the telegraph for real-time battlefield use.
