The Icelandic Postman: In the footsteps of Jón Póstur, one of Iceland's earliest mailmen - Paperback

by Christopher J. Rodel (Author)

In Nineteenth Century Iceland, communication over any distance was difficult, at best. Íslandspóstur and the author's great-great-great grandfather, Jón Magnusson, changed that. From an orphan to a trailblazer to an immigrant to America, Jón Magnusson, known better as Jón Póstur, led an extraordinary life - one that is still remembered in Iceland and America a century and a half later.
