How the Post Office Created America by Winifred Gallagher
The Post Office, Winifred Gallagher argues, has been not just a witness to, but a foundational influence on, much of the history of the USA, particularly for women and African-Americans who participated in the nation's formation via the Post Office in pivotal ways. How the Post Office Created America tells this story, tracing the role of a unique institution and its leaders. Taking in all the major events in American history, from the Declaration of Independence to the Civil War to the advent of the Internet, Gallagher tells a vitally important story.Home Thinking, Just the Way You Are (a New York Times Notable Book), Working on God, and The Power of Place are among Winifred Gallagher's works. She has contributed to Atlantic Monthly, Rolling Stone, and the New York Times, among other publications. She splits her time between Manhattan and Dubois, Wyoming.
