Postal History of Southeastern Washington
Category: History: U.S.: Washington State
Author: Robert Keatts
Copyright/published Year: 2021 by Postal Antiques and
ISBN: 097406582X
Binding: large Pap
Postal History of Southeastern Washington covers the five
counties that make up Washington state: Asotin, Columbia,
Franklin, Garfield, and Walla Walla Counties. Profusely
illustrated and footnoted, in addition to post office starting
and ending dates, sample devices, and scans of covers, the author
lists the postmasters who served each office. In addition, there
are close to 75 pages of postmaster biographies listed
alphabetically by county.
Robert Keatts did his first postal related writing in junior
high school when he wrote a paper about women on postage stamps.
Since then he has worked in a variety of fields from being an
administrative specialist in the U. S. Air Force, developing a
winter identification key for deciduous plants at an
environmental center, working as an interpretive naturalist for
the National Park Service and writing a booklet on the mining
history of the North Fork Skokomish River. He has contributed
articles to the American Philatelist and La Posta: A Journal of
American Postal History. In 2003 he completed and published
Postal History of Walla Walla County Washington with a
revised edition in 2013.
As a fourth generation native of eastern Washington, Robert
Keatts is well versed in a variety of fields and has found
something to write about in all of them. His knowledge of family
history and genealogical research contributed to the success of
postmaster biographic sketches in this book.
In his previous postal history writings he received reviews
from La Posta and local author Bill Gulick. The similarities in
this book follow a path that will bring postal historians,
philatelist and inquisitive minds a trove of information that
will be useful for historical research, genealogy and education
for philatelists.
