By Yamil H Kouri Jnr

Country Index |

A comprehensive study of the mail system and written communications in New Orleans during the Spanish period (1763-1804). It includes the inner workings of the mail system, postal markings,
rates, ships, and covers. This represents the most detailed and complete analysis of the finances of any Spanish colonial postal administration. The mail carried privately and by the postal systems of England, France, and the United States is also covered, as well as the transition to the U.S. postal administration.

"The author has taken a most arcane subject and through diligent research has produced a well written and documented book...it would be a boon if other areas of Spanish Colonial America were given such a thorough treatment
Joe Hahn American Philatelist September 2004
Considering this book is a pioneering effort. It is amazingly comprehensive. I doubt that much information could be added to the work, aside from the discovery of an occasional new cover from the Spanish period turning up. From that standpoint, the work covers an important segment of US postal history
