  • Owney - the Railway Mail Service Mascot
    1935 - 2012 VOLUME 43 NUMBER 2 CHAPTER WEBSITE: WWW.NRHS1.ORG FEBRUARY 2012 OWNEY - THE RAILWAY MAIL SERVICE MASCOT NANCY POPE, HISTORIAN SMITHSONIAN NATIONAL POSTAL MUSEUM On July 27, 2011, one of the National Postal Museum’s most interesting objects was commemorated with a United States postage stamp. During his lifetime a scruffy mutt named Owney was the nation’s most famous canine. From 1888 until his death in 1897 Owney rode with Railway Mail Service clerks and mailbags all across the nation. Owney’s story begins in 1888 with his attachment to the mail clerks and mailbags at the Albany, New York, post office. His owner was likely a postal clerk who let the dog walk him to work. Owney was attracted to the texture or scent of the mailbags and when his master moved away, Owney stayed with his new mail clerk friends. He soon began to follow mailbags. At first, he followed them onto mail wagons and then onto mail trains, beginning an almost decade-long story of travels far and wide. Owney’s journeys took him across the United States, into Canada, and possibly Mexico. On August 19, 1895, as part of a publicity stunt for the town of Tacoma, Washington, Owney left that city on a mail steamer and spent the next few months traveling around the world. He docked back in at New OWNEY AND FRIENDS POSING WITH A U.S. RAILWAY York City harbor in late December, returning by train to Tacoma on December 29, 1895. MAIL SERVICE CAR Among the first to visit the dog upon his arrival in town was often the local reporter, eager to learn where the dog had been, and share his travels with readers.

  • Owney the Travelling Postal
    The following lesson is based on a lesson created for the United States Postal Service by Dr. Jacqueline Hansen and Dr. Sharon Gill. The USPS has issued a postage stamp commemorating Owney in July, 2011. OWNEY THE TRAVELING DOG Objectives Students will be able to: • Participate in a grand conversation about Owney the Traveling Dog by Lynn Hall. • Predict what will happen next in the story. • Create a cause and effect chart of story events. • Sequence story events • Distinguish between though, through, and thought. Materials Needed • Student journals • Map of the United States • Copy of Owney, the Mail-Pouch Pooch by Lynne Barasch. Owney was a homeless dog who was adopted by the Albany Post Office in 1888. During his lifetime, Owney traveled over 140,000 miles to post offices across America. He became the US Postal Service mascot. Stamp Assortment Activity #1 Find stamps of animals that help people. The stamps do not need to show the work being done, for example, a student may find a stamp with a horse on it, but not a horse attached to a wagon. Set Induction 1. Discussion: Who owns a cat or dog? Has your pet ever been lost? What were some of the concerns you had? How did you feel? How do you think your pet felt? Did you ever find your pet? 2. Transition: Today we’re going to read a story about a dog that was lost in Albany, New York, in 1988. Help students find Albany, New York on a map of the United States. Calculate how many years ago the story took place.

  • Postal Railway Mascot Gets Stamp of Approval Postal Service Issues Pooch Postage
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Mark Saunders July 27, 2011 202-268-6524 [email protected] usps.com/news Release No. 11-091 Postal Railway Mascot Gets Stamp of Approval Postal Service Issues Pooch Postage To obtain high-resolution images of the stamps for media use only, email [email protected] WASHINGTON — The mascot that provided good luck to the Railway Mail Service returns today after a century after riding the rails and protecting the mail in the form of 60 million Owney the Postal Dog Forever stamps. To celebrate the news, Owney, a resident of the Smithsonian’s National Postal Museum, is back with a makeover for the opening of a new exhibit that chronicles his adventures. The museum also is announcing an Owney photo look-alike contest. Postal Service Owney related activities will take place at the Museum of Transportation in St. Louis, MO, and at the visitors’ center in Albany, NY, today. Events will also take place in Toledo, OH, and Tucson, AZ today, and on Aug. 1, the Humane Society of Southern Arizona will host an Owney look-alike contest. “With his new stamp and through the efforts of the National Postal Museum, Owney’s legacy will transcend time, becoming as much a part of the Postal Service of the 21st century as he was more than 100 years ago,” said Mary Anne Gibbons, Postal Service general counsel and executive vice president. “For almost 10 years, Owney was the much-beloved and well-traveled mascot of the Railway Mail Service.” Railway clerks believed Owney brought them good luck, since not a single train he rode was in an accident.

  • 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.
