Haulin' the mail (1858 style)

By JIM

These days, when a short delay in receiving a package or letter sometimes becomes cause for venting ones spleen on social media, it's difficult to remember that in years past, deliveries took longer -- considerably longer.

In early 1858, the US Post Office Department filled several pages of The Washington (D.C.) Union newspaper (and likely others, as well) with an ad soliciting bids for four-year contracts (July 1, 1858 - June 30, 1862) to carry the mail.

The tiny snippet shown here (see photo) covers the three mail routes for which Columbia served as the hub. (Mount Airy, mentioned in one of the entries, was in Russell County, not far removed from Montpelier in Adair County.)
