They board the "Western Lion" packet in Albany, New York, for a journey to Niagara Falls. ; Walter "Wat" Dumaux Edmonds (July 15, 1903 - January 24, 1998) was an American writer best known for historical novels. One of them, Drums Along the Mohawk (1936), was adapted as a Technicolor feature film in 1939 . He graduated from Harvard University in 1926 ; Tompkins (1907-2007 ) was a book illustrator, designer of weapons and household appliances, a lecturer on art and art history, and best know in Hartford as the Dean of the Hartford Art School when it joined the University of Hartford. However, he was foremost a painter, who is said to have painted every year of his life from age 7 until shortly before he died at age 100. In 1925 he entered Columbia University in Manhattan, initially planning to follow his father as an engineer by enrolling as a pre-engineering student. However, he quickly determined that his love for art and his lack of skills in mathematics suggested another path. "As an idealistic student, I fell so hopelessly in love with art that my friends would muse - with some accuracy - that I would rather paint than eat." After some cajoling, his parents finally consented to his study of history and art history. He received a BFA from Columbia in 1929 and obtained his BFA from Yale in 1933. During World War II, Tompkins worked at General Electric in Bridgeport. There, he helped develop the Bazooka gun. ; bookplate of Mary Ellen Lanks, who was the subject of a series of well-known black and white photos taken from 1930 to1950 in Pennsylvania ; VF/G. Book.

8vo., (7 2/8 x 5 inches). Fine folding letterpress table at end. Original cream printed paper wrappers (backstrip worn with loss, corners creased). Provenance: with the ownership inscription of E.S. Tobey Jr., "Secretary to P[ost]-M[aster] December 29th 1879", of Boston, Mass. First edition, of an early history of the American Post Office Department. "No one in the Executive Departments ministers so effectively to the every-day wants of the people a he General Post Office. By opening channels of communication between widely separated communities, and by the rapid dissemination of information adapted to instruct the masses, it becomes a highly valuable instrumentality for advancing the public virtue and intelligence. Its influence in promoting the civilization of new settlements is only surpassed by that of the pulpit, the school-house, and the press, whose issues it circulates. Wherever the mail-carriers, with their instructive packets, make their appearance, law and order gradually supersede the rude customs and the violence of savage life" (Introductory Remarks page [5]). "For most of its history, the postal service was the nation's largest civilian institution and the federal government's most visible manifestation in Americans' everyday lives. Empowered by the Constitution to "establish Post Offices and post Roads," Congress created a communication network to unite the fragile young nation. Some of the first postal connections, for instance, linked county seats to state capitals and ultimately to Washington, D.C. The Post Office Department itself did not build many roads or operate many long-distance transports. But contracts with private carriers--stagecoach and steamship lines, railroads, trucking firms, and airlines--helped create a nationwide transportation system. Politics pervaded the Post Office through most of its history. From Andrew Jackson's administration until 1971, the postmaster general customarily served as the president's chief political lieutenant, some having previously headed the party's national committee. Postmasters general dispensed patronage--tens of thousands of local postmasterships and thousands of contracts--throughout the nation. Congress itself set postage rates, often arguing for years over a fraction of a cent for one category or another. Residents of rural areas, and their representatives in Congress, lobbied assiduously for special postal services to reduce their isolation. Rural free delivery (1896) was the most direct response, but postal savings banks (1911-1966) and parcel post (1913) also helped. Catalogued by Kate Hunter.
