THE POSTAL HISTORY OF SPANISH NEW ORLEANS
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.

"This is a splendid book, which will assuredly become
the standard reference work on Spanish New Orleans..." Gibbons Stamp
Monthly December 2005
"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." Richard B. Graham Linn's Stamp News August
2004
