Item description from seller

ISBN: 0-87004-287-4, Light shelf rubbing to the jacket edges with some creasing to the jacket rear top edge, minor foxing to the block fore-edges, slight sagging to the fore-edge; little wear overall. In Brodart mylar for preservation. Text is clean. 'Portland started life as a typical frontier settlement with wooden sidewalks and dirt streets that the damp climate turned to mud for the better part of each year. . . . Until the coming of the automobile, the street railways provided the only means of getting around. Aside from their value for daily commuting and for shopping tours, they also provided holiday excursions into the country for picnicking, hiking, or just getting away from the confines of the city. . . . Portland's expansion was very rapid, due largely to the street railways.' Illustrated with b/w photos. 164 pages. 8.75 x 11.25 inches.
