POSTMASTERS AND POST OFFICES OF PUTNAM COUNTY, NEW YORK
By Terrence Hines

This short (52 pages) but information-packed volume provides, for each of the over 35 post offices that have ever operated in New York, a list of postmasters of each office and, when available, from government records, the compensation of each postmaster from the years 1816-1911. Such data provide important imformation on the level of economic activity at each post office during this period. In addition, there is an alphabetical list of all postmasters, assistant postmasters, and, later, "officers in charge" along with the post offices they served and the years they held their positions. This list contains over 425 names of prominent Putnam County citizens, making the volume of interest to genealogists as well as postal historians.

A final section describes typical postal routes by which mail was distributed in the county from the 1830s to the 1940s. Portions of several historical postal route maps of the county are shown in color.

The author, Terence Hines, a resident of Putnam County, is a noted postal historian who has published works on the postal history of his hometown of Hanover, New Hampshire, and Old Home Week philatelic material (both also available from PaperQuest Press) as well as articles covering aspects of philately from special delivery stamps to revenue stamps.
