In fact, to tell you what is worth seeing - where to see it - where to go - how to go - and whom to stop with while passing over the Union Pacific Railroad, Central Pacific Railroad of Cal., Their Branches and Connections by Stage and Water, from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. Illustrated. Crofutt and Eaton, Chicago 1870. 244 + woodcut plates and numerous coloured leaves of advertisements. The last leaves [p. 241-44, two paes of ads + woddcut of Native American Peace Chief of the Shoshone] lacking, but enclosed in photocopies. Also the foldable timetable between ps. 16 and 17 only has a stub the size of on page left [we haven't been able to find a copy of this]. Bound with the original woodcut front wrapper [a bit soiled and restored at the edges] in a almost contemporary half calf binding with stamped sidepapers. No spine title. A little soiling here and there. A nice, solid copy, even with the flaws of a few missing leaves. * Very scarce. Fantastic travel guide to propel you back in time to the first year of the Transcontinental Railroad, one of the major engineering achivements of the 19th century. The railroad was finished in 1869, so this is the first major guide for the average American to go see the mighty land by train. The advertisments take you right back to the everyday life of 150 years ago, where you can buy matresses, furs, watches - and even go to Tiffany & Co. on 550 Braodway and buy 'Fancy Goods'.…
