Many challenges confronting today's Postal Service would not be foreign  to early postal officials -- high partisanship, operational  difficulties, and financial stress . In preparation for July 4, during this week's episode of NAPS Chat, Prof. Joseph Adelman of Framingham State University joins Bob Levi to discuss crucial postal decisions made by American patriots, including choices made by delegates to the 1787 Constitutional Convention, President George Washington and the 2nd U.S. Congress. These decisions resulted in the development of our postal system. Prof. Adelman is currently working on an epic history of the Postal Service.

For the American Revolution to be successful, it needed ideas people could embrace and methods for spreading those ideas. It also needed ways for revolutionaries to coordinate across colonial lines.

Joseph Adelman, an Assistant Professor of History at Framingham State University and author of Revolutionary Networks: The Business and Politics of Printing the News, 1763-1789, joins us to investigate the roles printers and their networks played in developing and spreading ideas of the American Revolution.
