La Posta Publications Publisher Peter Martin has announced the release of the third in its new monograph series.
The Postal History of St. Simons Island, Georgia is another venture into a new field by offering a look into one aspect of Georgia postal history, a state with very few published resources. Author Steve Swain not only lives in Georgia, he is also 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.
Swain not only presents the documented postal history of the best known of the barrier islands, he 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.
The monograph received support from the Georgia Postal History Society and Dick Keiser, DK Enterprises, Silverdale, Washington.
