A river steamer carried mail for the first time on the Mississippi River today in 1812, traveling from New Orleans to Natchez, MS. River boat mail quickly became the most reliable mail service in the early 1800s, to the point where Congress declared all steamboat routes to be post roads in 1823, making them subject to federal regulations.
