Mogal mail

You're referring to "Mogul Mail"!

Mogul Mail was a type of mail delivery system used in the United States from the late 19th century to the mid-20th century. It was a precursor to the modern postal system and was used to deliver mail to rural areas.

Here's how it worked:

  1. Mail was sorted and bundled into large bags or "moguls" at the post office.
  2. The mail was then carried by horseback or by wagon to a rural post office or a designated delivery point.
  3. At the delivery point, the mail was unloaded and sorted into smaller bags or "sacks" for delivery to individual mailboxes or homes.
  4. The mail was then carried by horseback or on foot to the final destination, often over long distances and through challenging terrain.

Mogul Mail was an important part of rural life, as it provided a vital connection to the outside world and allowed people to communicate with each other over long distances. However, with the advent of modern transportation and communication technologies, Mogul Mail eventually became obsolete and was replaced by more efficient and reliable methods of mail delivery.
