Ten Years Among The Mail Bags: Or Notes From The Diary Of A Special Agent Of The Post-Office Department (1855) is a memoir written by J. Holbrook, who served as a special agent for the Post-Office Department for a decade. The book offers a fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of the postal service in the mid-19th century, as well as the challenges and dangers faced by special agents tasked with protecting the mail and apprehending criminals. Holbrook provides detailed accounts of his travels across the United States, investigating cases of mail theft, fraud, and other crimes. He also shares anecdotes about his encounters with colorful characters, both good and bad, who crossed his path during his years on the job. The book is a valuable historical document that sheds light on a crucial aspect of American life during a time of rapid growth and change.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
