None of the modern means of communication existed during the days of the Texas Republic except the postal system. That operation in the 1830's and 1840's was crude and inefficient and faced many hardships yet proved to be relatively successful considering all the problems of a startup system in a sparsely settled frontier era. In REPUBLIC POST the pages herein describe the Texas government, the financial situation, the consular service, the postal rates and routes and the methods of delivering the mail. Maps are presented which show locations of post offices including many obscure places which are ghost tomes or just memories today. Other information of Republic post routes previously listed but never before shown on maps. This book tells the whole story of the Republic of Texas postal system with many pertinent illustrations..
