The founders established the Post Office before they had even signed the Declaration of Independence, and for a very long time it was the US government's largest and most important endeavor - indeed, it was the government for most citizens. This was no conventional mail network but the central nervous system of the new body politic, designed to bind 13 quarrelsome colonies into the United States by delivering news about public affairs to every citizen - a radical idea that appalled Europe's great powers.

Fascinating Book with Poor Delivery
Revisado: 08-24-16
This history of the USPS is fascinating with many interesting anecdotes. The flow of the narrative is well done even if not always chronological.
The one drawback to the audiobook is the annoying, authoritarian, sanctimonious voice of the narrator. While I wanted to hear the story, I found the voice irritating enough that I reluctantly returned to the book. It was like being lectured by your third grade teacher!
