CROFUTT'S TRANS-CONTINENTAL TOURIST'S GUIDE, CONTAINING A FULL AND AUTHENTIC DESCRIPTION OF OVER FIVE HUNDRED CITIES, TOWNS, VILLAGES, STATIONS...FROM THE ATLANTIC TO THE PACIFIC OCEAN. Fourth ... Crofutt started publication of his guides in 1869 and issued them annually. This is apparently the third or fourth revision, described on the titlepage as "Fourth Volume, Third Annual Revised." Wonderfully illustrated with plates depicting railway routes and scenery from all over the West (e.g. Yellowstone Park, Salt Lake City, and Omaha Bridge), and including a portrait of "Brigham Young, President of the Utah Central Railroad" that illustrates an article about the railroad. Crofutt guides rarely escaped heavy use, but the present copy is in quite nice condition. The best guide of its day to the Pacific Railroad.
