Sobre este artículo
Boston: John B. Bachelder, 1876. Fourth Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾. 390, [4] pp. Large folding map in front. Book organized by railroad itineraries, as made sense at the time it was written. 31 routes described, including many to what was still true wilderness. Woodcuts of sites and hotels of day. Fascinating document of period tourism. Map has closed tears along folds, as inevitable given light paper used for map, but all there. Some shallow blistering along red spine, whose gilt is a little faded. Minor wear elsewhere on red cloth binding. Interior tight. Pages age toned. Clean except for pencil scribbles from child probably on ffep. A very good copy.
