Third in
New Monograph Series
The Postal History of Saint Simons
Island, Georgia
is another venture into a new field offering a look into one aspect
of Georgia postal history, a state with very few published
resources.
Author Steve Swain
is a life-long resident of Georgia and the editor of Georgia Post
Roads, the journal of the Georgia Postal History Society. He is
well versed in his subject and relates the full story with tales
dating back to the formation of the United States.
Presenting not only
the documented postal history of the best known of the barrier
islands, Swain dug deep into the history of the island and its
people and brings it alive in his extensive narrative. With more
than 140 supporting images, you'll learn all about the St. Simons
Island post offices, postmasters, postal markings, and the people
that have supported this popular island community.
