Synopsis

This book details the struggle for rural mail delivery in Canada up to 1918. At the time, farmers had to travel great distances to collect their mail and send their goods to market. The author, himself a farmer, campaigned for a rural mail service to help reduce their burden and improve their economic prospects. The book provides a fascinating insight into the challenges faced by rural communities in the early 20th century and the efforts made to overcome them. The author's passion for his cause is evident throughout the book, and highlights the importance of rural mail delivery in bridging the gap between urban and rural communities. This book provides valuable insights into the history of postal services in Canada and the social and economic conditions of rural communities in the early 20th century.
