520 $a""In America, one of the first things done in a new State is to have the mail come." -Alexis de Toqueville, 1835 Who's Got Mail? is an intriguing and fact-filled look at how the mail has been delivered in the U.S. since the Constitution was signed. In the United States, the spread of the postal service went hand in hand with the spread of democracy and transportation. As settlement spread west, communication became even more important to let distant residents feel that they were American; no part of the country was too far away, no village or farm too small to have access to the post."--$cProvided by publisher.
