On Time Delivery
On Time Delivery: The Dog Team Mail Carriers | William S. Schneider
7 posts
From the turn of the twentieth century in interior Alaska, dog team mail carriers were charged with maintaining the trail systems and carrying the mail until they were replaced in the late 1930s and 40s by airplane mail service. With the advent and widespread adoption of aviation, many of the trails were abandoned, and a generation of rural Alaskans has now grown up with few ties to the overland trail system that supported their grandparents and inspired modern traditions such as the world-famous Iditarod Race. In addition to chronicling the history of this unique postal service, On Time Delivery pays tribute to the men who carried the mail and the families who supported them, and considers the changing nature of how people experience the country where they liveand how this is affected by the systems of communication and transportation upon which they depend.

Still waiting on one Hibbert book, but my Target order arrived! I‘m a little daunted by the size of Dune but was frustrated trying to find it through the library. These were all impulse buys and yesterday I couldn‘t even remember what I had ordered. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Hazel2019 Nice selection! 3y
marleed Fun reads! 3y

It‘s not marked but I‘m guessing my #JolabokaflodSwap arrived today. (Also wondering if I will ever be able to write that word without looking it up first—usually more than once!) 🤦🏻‍♀️

Thank you @JenlovesJT47 🤗

Laughterhp Haha I definitely have to look up the word every time I type it out! 3y
DebinHawaii @Laughterhp Oh good! I‘m happy it‘s not just me! 🤣🤣🤣 3y
JenlovesJT47 Yay! I had it in a different bubble mailer with the hashtag marked and my husband had to switch it to this one when he took it to the post office. 😬 3y
DebinHawaii @JenlovesJT47 Hah! No worries. It was process of elimination as I just did 3 swaps & have the other 2! Thank you so much! It is going to be hard to wait! 🤗 (edited) 3y
Megabooks I saved the word in my notes app in my phone when I did it last year! 3y

Good news and bad news @britt_brooke I mailed your #booktoteswap package this morning, priority mail, but somehow it said arrival date:12/2. Yikes!! I hope that it gets there in the normal three business day Priority Mail time. If not, I apologize!

britt_brooke Oh, thank you so much! Maybe it‘ll get here by Friday, but no worries if not, of course!! 💚 (edited) 6y
