occasionally suffering embarrassment, ridicule, or even abuse in the process
As mail delivery evolved from foot to horseback, stagecoach, steamboat, railroad,
automobile, and airplane, with intermediate and overlapping use of balloons, and helicopters, post office mail contracts ensured the income necessary to build the great highways, rail lines, and airways that eventually spanned the continent
By the turn of the 19th century, the U.S Post Office had purchased a number of
