Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, many people regard the postal service as an outdated method of notification. However, the U.S. postal service is the only delivery service that reaches every address in the United States. The U.S. Constitution officially established this important institution, which traces its roots back to the Second Continental Congress in 1775. Without the postal service, many people would not be able to receive necessary correspondence. This book explores the history of the U.S. Postal Service and the role of this institution is vital to American daily life. Full-color photographs and a graphic organizer provide students with the tools necessary to make connections beyond the text.

This book was released on 2021-11-05 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the second session of the Fortieth Congress, 1868, a bill was introduced and a paper submitted relating to the "Union of the Telegraph and Postal Systems" in the United States, which has naturally attracted public attention and especially of that large class of our citizens who are identified with the Telegraph interests of the country. The paper bears upon its face such evident marks of care, and the case is presented with so much earnestness and apparent sincerity, notwithstanding the frequency of its errors and the illusory character of its appeals to the practice and experience of foreign nations, that it cannot fail to produce upon the public mind an unjust impression that the usefulness of this great invention is injuriously restricted, and its operations unfaithfully managed, by the organizations having it in control. To correct these erroneous impressions by calmly and respectfully criticizing the statements thus presented, and proving the honesty and fidelity with which the Western Union Telegraph service is performed in this country, is the object of this book.

Download or read book The Telegraph in America 1832 1920 written by David Hochfelder and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2012-11-20 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Telegraphy in the nineteenth century approximated the internet in our own day. Historian and electrical engineer David Hochfelder offers readers a comprehensive history of this groundbreaking technology, which employs breaks in an electrical current to send code along miles of wire. The Telegraph in America, 1832–1920, examines the correlation between technological innovation and social change and shows how this transformative relationship helps us to understand and perhaps define modernity. The telegraph revolutionized the spread of information—speeding personal messages, news of public events, and details of stock fluctuations. During the Civil War, telegraphed intelligence and high-level directives gave the Union war effort a critical advantage. Afterward, the telegraph helped build and break fortunes and, along with the railroad, altered the way Americans thought about time and space. Hochfelder thus supplies us with an introduction to the early stirrings of the information age. -- Richard R. John, Columbia University

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report on Postal Telegraph: In the Senate of the United States, May 27, 1884 In 1881 the Western Union paid of its stock for the stock and bonds of the American Union Telegraph Company, and of its stock for all of the stock which it did not already own of the At lantic and Pacific Telegraph Company. From a comparison of the an nual reports of the Western Union it appears that the addition to its property was greater in 1881, when these purchases were made, than in 1882, when no purchases were made, by only miles of pole, miles 01 wire, and 329 otlices. This excess of addition to the equipment in 1881 seems to be a tolerably correct measure of the tangible property which the Western Union acquired by issuing of stock in 1881, and if it is, the actual cost value of the property must have been about on the estimated cost of constructing telegraph lines per mile of wire at $70. The purchases of new lines made in 1881 did not cause any accessions to the business of the Western Union, inas much as the subsequent increase iii the number of messages was no greater than the normal growth without the addition of new lines. It is evident, without pursuing this branch of the subject further, that the price which the Western Union paid in its stock for competing lines was vastly in excess of either the cost or carnin g capacity of the prop erty acquired.
