The Groupon Guide to: The History of Mail
Though the Internet has made non-electronic correspondence obsolete, traditional mail, or "snail mail," still has some uses, namely the shipping of snails and other mollusks for scientific purposes. Here's a look at the history of American mail:
The Pony Express: Before the discovery of steam made train travel possible, the fastest way to send a letter across the country was hiring one of the trained horses of the Pony Express. Local notaries would whistle for a horse, feed it a meal of grain arranged in the shape of the shipping address, and tie the letter to the courier-animal's tail. Often, the letter would arrive at its destination.
The Post Office: According to their motto, these hearty mail carriers cannot be stopped by "rain, sleet, gloom of night, Post Office eagle mascots come to life, earthquakes, seasonal depression, or nets shot out of a net gun." Sending mail through the Post Office is fun, thanks to the new line of stamps, "The Nude Adventures of Teddy Roosevelt."
Email: Utilizing a system of underground pneumatic tubes, email is the fastest way to send photographs of handwritten letters anywhere in the world. Electronic mail is now the premier method of proposing marriage, offering condolences, and quickly completing any chain-letter-related responsibilities.
