    The United States Postal Service: an American History Tells the Story of an Ever-Changing and Improving Institution

    At the beginning of our nation, and in the midst of the war for independence, there was a critical need to bind the people together through a reliable and secure system for the exchange of information and the delivery of correspondence. This led to the creation of America’s postal system in 1775, which preceded the birth of our country. The United States Postal Service has played a vital, sustaining, and unifying role in the life of the nation and in the lives of the American public ever since. The history of the Postal Service is a large story set on a broad canvas. It is intertwined with the history of America, and it provides a lens from which to observe the evolution of the United States. The postal system strengthened the foundations of our democracy by fostering the flow of ideas and access to America’s free press. It enabled the vast expansion of American industry and commerce, spanning and influencing the rise of the railroads in the 19th century, air travel in the 20th century, and the advanced digital technology of recent decades. As America’s economy and society have evolved, so too has the Postal Service progressed, both meeting and reflecting the nation’s changing needs. The United States Postal Service: An American History tells the story of an ever-changing and improving institution. It introduces us to the people and events that have shaped our story, and most importantly, how and why the Postal Service continues to play an indis- pensable role in every American community.

    Scrabble Existence in the Wild, Untamed Frontier of Southeast Florida at a Time When Most Male Settlers Could Not Survive

    Pioneer Mail Service on Lake Worth A Settler’s Memoir By Lillie Pierce Voss Lillie Pierce Voss (1876-1967) formerly of Hypoluxo was the first non-Native American child born between Jupiter and Miami. As a child she learned to interact with the Seminole Indians and she learned to shoot, hunt, fish, and sail a boat as well as any male. She was known as the Sweetheart of the Barefoot Mailmen, helping her mother cook breakfast for the mailmen and rowing them across the lagoon to the beach strip where they would start their historic treks. Her husband was a boat captain and steam engineer, who ran steamboats in south Florida in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Together they piloted yachts between Palm Beach and New England for wealthy seasonal Palm Beach residents. Ms. Voss was a pioneer woman and dynamic individual who helped build South Florida while raising her five children. She witnessed and participated in some of the watershed events in the development of southeast Florida, raised a successful family, and survived a hard- scrabble existence in the wild, untamed frontier of southeast Florida at a time when most male settlers could not survive. She was smart, tough, and an intricate part of south Florida’s unique history. The following is Lillie’s recollection, written many years after these events happened, of mail service during Palm Beach County’s Pioneer Era. Mail service was hit and miss prior to 1885 when the U.S. Postal Service established a Star Route between Palm Beach and Miami. Additionally, several post offices were located on Lake Worth which provided service to the settlers living on the Lake.

  • The Orange Grove House of Refuge No.3

    The Orange Grove House of Refuge No.3

    FeICest:i The Orange Grove House of Refuge No. 3 By GILBERT L. Voss This paper was delivered at Delray Beach, Florida, February 18, 1968, as an address at the dedication of a bronze plaque that marks the site where formerly stood the Orange Grove House of Refuge No. 3. It has been somewhat amended and certain additions have been made to the original text. I am indebted to my aunt, Mrs. Charles W. Pierce of Boynton Beach, Florida, for the opportunity to examine certain manuscripts written by my late uncle, referring to the building of the station. If we were gathered where we are now in the year 1873 a very different scene would lie before us. Instead of standing by a busy highway with passing cars, amidst hotels and villas, we would be surrounded by a dense ocean hammock with tall banyans, gumbo-limbos, and sea grapes, beach grass and open sand with not a sign of man or his works. Looking out, however, across the beach to the ocean we might see, instead of passing oil tankers and cruise ships, the tall spars and sails of a square rigger or the raking masts and stacks of a Morgan, Ward, or Mallory Line steamer. Now were we to stand on the deck of one of these vessels looking shoreward, we would see a long curving line of breakers dashing upon a golden sand beach backed by a long, low, line of forest or jungle as far as the eye could see. And on that beach there would not be a house, a jetty protected inlet, or any sign to indicate that any other than Indians lived there.
