THE OLD POST ROAD

by Stewart Holbrook ‧ RELEASE DATE: N/A

First rate Americana -- for here, implicit in the tales of places, people and events connected with the road familiarly called The Boston Post Road, is a slice of our history. Its story dates back 100 years before the Revolution when a pioneer mail carrier made his way from New York to Boston. Stages came later. Post offices were casual affairs and the cost of sending mail was of local decision. Gradually the old post road became three routes out of Boston until they merged into one below New Haven. Delightful pen sketches in this, one of Stuart Holbrook's most beguiling books.
