Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “[The] book makes you care what happens to its main protagonist, the U.S. Postal Service itself. And, as such, it leaves you at the end in suspense.” —USA Today Founded by Benjamin Franklin, the United States Postal Service was the information network that bound far-flung Americans together, and yet, it is slowly vanishing. Critics say it is slow and archaic. Mail volume is down. The workforce is shrinking. Post offices are closing. In Neither Snow Nor Rain, journalist Devin Leonard tackles the fascinating, centuries-long history of the USPS, from the first letter carriers through Franklin’s days, when postmasters worked out of their homes and post roads cut new paths through the wilderness. Under Andrew Jackson, the post office was molded into a vast patronage machine, and by the 1870s, over seventy percent of federal employees were postal workers. As the country boomed, USPS aggressively developed new technology, from mobile post offices on railroads and airmail service to mechanical sorting machines and optical character readers. Neither Snow Nor Rain is a rich, multifaceted history, full of remarkable characters, from the stamp-collecting FDR, to the revolutionaries who challenged USPS’s monopoly on mail, to the renegade union members who brought the system—and the country—to a halt in the 1970s. “Delectably readable . . . Leonard’s account offers surprises on almost every other page . . . [and] delivers both the triumphs and travails with clarity, wit and heart.” —Chicago Tribune
Download or read book The Post Office and Its Story written by Edward Bennett and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2019-12-19 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A great deal has been written about the General Post Office in newspapers and magazines, but the books on the subject are comparatively few. And these volumes are either exhaustive historical treatises, or more popularly written descriptions of Post Office life and work. However, these works carry us no farther than the eve of penny postage, while the other books were written too long ago to be a guide to the Post Office of today. It is within the last twenty years that the Department has made the most rapid strides in the extension of its activities. Thus, what the author is attempting to do is to tell the story of the Department, briefly in its early beginnings, more fully in its modern developments, and in such a way as to give the reader the impression that the Post Office is alive, that it is in close touch with the needs of the nation, and is in less danger of being strangled with red-tape methods than at any time of its existence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Forty Years at the Post-Office, Vol. 1 of 2: A Personal Narrative The headquarters of this department lie too far east of Whitehall for its permanent officials to be closely in touch with the governing bodies of the realm, a condition which may have lent strength to the ten deney noticeable, certainly when the century was younger, to rate the revenue-earning branches, and therefore this one, on a lower level than the spending branches of the State.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1895 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XXV. JUBILATION. The Post-Office, inexhaustible at the desk or on the field of duty, has not always been disposed towards collective festivity. The cause may not be very far to seek. Having given to the service of the commonwealth the best of the day, its members not unreasonably fly away to their homes to make the best of the night. So it fell out that the several branches of the PostOffice pursued for many a long year the even tenor of their way, without so much as a thought of jubilation in respect to official toil. The chief clerks had other things to think of; the juniors neither the cash nor the power. However, a change was at hand. The cheers of the million which had saluted the jubilee of her Majesty Queen Victoria were yet in the ears of the people, when the Post-Office became aware that the fiftieth year of penny postage verged on completion. It resolved to celebrate the occasion, and lost no time in appointing a committee and making preparations. The first step was to roll together in the office itself a large guarantee fund. Next, before buckling on the harness of festive organization in earnest, 250 of its principal people struck out the novel design of dining together. That dinner has its memorable recollections. It took place as near to the semi-centenary of penny postage as could be arranged. Amongst the guests there was one who already filled high office when the penny became the Shibboleth of progress--Sir John Tilley, K.C.B.; near him sat the son of the Eeformer, and over against him a nephew of Sir Eowland, who has done more for the Office than the public are aware of--Mr. Edward Bernard Lewin Hill. This first act of jubilation has, too, its sorrowful associations. The guests of the past look in vain for the...

Download or read book Forty Years a Forester written by Elers Koch and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2019-10 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elers Koch, a key figure in the early days of the U.S. Forest Service, was among the first American-trained silviculturists, a pioneering forest manager, and a master firefighter. By horse and on foot, he helped establish the boundaries of most of our national forests in the West, designed new fire-control strategies and equipment, and served during the formative years of the agency. Forty Years a Forester, Koch’s entertaining and illuminating memoir, reveals one remarkable man’s contributions to the incipient science of forest management and his role in building the human relationships and policies that helped make the U.S. Forest Service, prior to World War II, the most respected bureau in the federal government. This new, fully annotated edition of Koch’s memoir offers an unparalleled look at the Forest Service’s formative ambitions to regulate the national forests and grasslands and reminds us of the principled commitment that Koch and his peers exemplified as they built the national forest system and nurtured the essential conservation ethic that continues to guide our use of the public lands.
