The Postal System of the United States and the New York General Post Office

"The Postal System of the United States and the New York General Post Office" by Thomas C. Jefferies is a historical record that explores the origins, functions, and importance of the United States postal service, especially the New York General Post Office. The book probably goes into great detail about how the postal service works, emphasizing both the people who help it run and the leaders who keep it going. In the beginning, the book explains how important the postal system is to American life and how it changed to focus on serving the public instead of just making money. It mentions important people like Hubert Work, the Postmaster General, who promoted a friendlier method of running the postal service. The writing also points out that the public needs a better understanding of how the postal service works and how important skilled workers are in making sure everything runs smoothly. Plus, Jefferies stresses how much the U.S. postal service has expanded by giving statistics on the increasing amount of mail and how postal services have changed, from when they first started in colonial times to the more complicated system in place as of the early 20th century.
