TJIE TRA.!lJS-MISSISSIPPI EXPRESS MAIL With the fall ofNew Orleans and Vicksburg the control of the Mississippi Riverpassed into the hands of the Union forces and split the Confederacyin two. In order to maintain the mail service between the east andthe west a special express mail route was established to run theUnion blockade of the river.
The rate for this special service was 40¢ per lh oz. Covers canbe identified by this rate and the fact that they are either westbound or eastbound across the Mississippi River. Eastbound areendorsed Mvia Shreveport or Alexandria" and the westbound "viaBrandon or Meridian," Some also include the directive "via Express."Cover showr. is eastbound from Sherman, Texas, Jan. 18 (1864or 1865).
