"The Postal Service of the United States in Connection with the Local History of Buffalo" by Hon. N. K. Hall and Thomas Blossom is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This book delves into the development and impact of the postal service in the context of Buffalo's local history, tracing its origins and evolution from the establishment of Buffalo's post office in 1804. The text provides a detailed examination of
the postal system's infrastructure, including the appointment of various postmasters, the evolution of mail routes, and changes in postage rates over the years. Through a thorough exploration of archival records and historical events, the book illustrates the pivotal role of postal services in the growth of Buffalo and emphasizes the challenges faced in maintaining mail transport through the early years, especially following significant events such as the burnings of public records.
