The Early History of the Colonial Post-Office
1894
The Early History of the Colonial Post-Office, written by Mary Emma Woolley and published in 1894, provides a detailed historical account of the development of postal services in the American colonies from approximately 1600 to 1775. Woolley examines the evolution of communication methods, the establishment of organized postal systems, and the impact of the lack of formal postal services on settlers. Notable developments include the establishment of Richard Fairbanks's house in Boston as the first designated postal point and the creation of the first intercolonial postal system under Thomas Neale, which played a crucial role in unifying the colonies.
