A vibrant depiction of the great city of San Antonio, Texas produced by the Missouri Pacific Railroad during the latter part of the Roaring Twenties. The promotional work is profusely illustrated with photographs accompanied by text touting the many advantages of the Alamo City.

The photographs includes an "Aerial View of the Heart of San Antonio." The Missouri Pacific also includes a bit about itself, with photographs of the "Sunset Special" locomotive and the Missouri Pacific Lines' Bridge across the Mississippi River at Memphis, plus a map of the line on the last page.
