31pp. Square Octavo [23 cm x 20 cm] Red illustrated wrappers. Very good. Vertical fold as issued. Promotional piece from the Northern Pacific for service to Yellowstone with descriptions of the area, lodgings, scenic features, tours, etc. Illustrated throughout with black and white views and a double-page map at the center. Opens with an essay by Emerson Hough 'Yellowstone National Park - A Tribute.' "Only Burlington-Northern Pacific serves three of Yellowstone's famous gateways, Gardiner, Cody, and Red Lodge, and only Burlington - Northern Pacific offers a choice of three scenic routes to or from the Park. The most direct service to Yellowstone is via the Route of the North Coast Limited, through St. Paul-Minneapolis, Minnesota wooded farmlands, the Bad Lands of North Dakota and the ranch country of Montana." - p.5. The Northern Pacific Railway was not only the first railroad to build a branch line to the park boundary to the North Entrance at Gardiner, but it also provided service to the last entrance which was opened to the park, the Northeast Entrance, In addition, the Northern Pacific was heavily involved in the development of the hotel facilities in the park. The involvement of the Northern Pacific with the park dates back to 1870, with the exploration of the park by the Washburn Expedition. According to legend, the party concluded that the natural wonders should be preserved as a national park. Nathaniel Pitt Langsford, who was on the expedition, publicized the wonders he had seen in the park on his return to the East Coast, and Jay Cooke, financier for the Northern Pacific Railroad, hired him as a publicist to obtain financial support for his railroad and to promote the park.

56pp. Octavo [23 cm] Illustrated wrappers. About very good. Gentle age toning to covers with some minor spotting. Guide produced by the Northern Pacific for the prospective tourist. Illustrated with Haynes photographs and maps. Work begins with the essay 'An Appreciation of Yellowstone National Park' by Emerson Hough. Double-page map at the center "And you may travel and live in perfect comfort! That is almost the most astonishing thing about Yellowstone. You may photograph a wild bear and eat a course dinner within the same hour. You perhaps may see the buffalo from your seat in a comfortable touring car. You may see the Canyon and geysers and the Grand Tetons and a dozen bold mountain lakes and streams and yet sleep in as good a bed as you left at home. Literally, the world has nothing like this. Other parks have one attraction - several; but none has all these. And no discomfort or danger or weariness will mar your day's delights." - pg.

63pp. Quarto [25 cm] Illustrated wrappers. Better than very good. Internally nice. Promotional piece from the Northern Pacific for service to Yellowstone with descriptions of the area, lodgings, scenic features, tours, etc. Illustrated throughout with black and white views and a double-page map at the center. Opens with an essay by Emerson Hough 'Yellowstone National Park - A Tribute.' "Yellowstone is so many-sided so varied, that no description could do it justice. The purpose of this album is but to indicate by pictures the scope of the natural beauties and wonders found there. Wherever you live, Yellowstone is your Park - one of the great things of this earth you should determine now not to miss." - p[1]. The Northern Pacific influenced the development of Yellowstone National Park in a number of ways. The company built a line from Livingston that eventually reached the Park border and attracted visitors to the area. The railroad paid for hotels to be erected at various locations throughout the Park that brought well-heeled visitors for overnight stays.
