Produktbeschreibung
A crisp invitation to a long-forgotten map of Canadian life. A window into the provinces, towns, and offices that stitched together a vast, developing nation. This book presents a thorough historical directory of 1860 Canadian post offices and the names of the postmasters, weaving together the practical nuts and bolts of postal networks with the social texture of the era. It is a reference publication that stands as a genealogical resource for researchers and a vivid archive for lovers of Victorian era Canada. From illustrated postal listings to provincial post offices, the work offers a precise snapshot of mid nineteenth century Canada, grounded in canadian government records and enduring archival reliability. Significance radiates beyond mere listing. It honours the rhythms of everyday administrative life and the broader currents of nation-building, inviting casual readers and classic-literature collectors alike to pause on a doorstep long since closed. The value lies in the clarity of its organisation and the humanity of its entries, making it an indispensable companion for those tracing family histories or exploring the evolution of Canada's postal system. Out of print for decades, and now republished by Alpha Editions, this edition is restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint, it is a collector's item and a cultural treasure-a substantial, enduring addition to any research library.
