Richard John's "Spreading the News: The American Postal System to Franklin to Morse" is informative and well written. His main argument is that the postal system was crucial to the development of the United States in distinct ways. In order to support this, he vividly presents numerous historical anecdotes, facts, and in some cases vignettes discovered through archival research.
