187742208St. Louis: A. Gast & Co. Lith. 1877. 1877. IOWA NEBRASKA. First edition. 8vo. 21.6 cm x 13.3 cm. Original printed yellow wrappers 31 1 pp. illustrated from two full-page pictorial plates three maps on verso of front cover and recto and verso of rear cover. Front map is of the great South Platte region. Map on inside rear cover is a map of Southern Iowa showing lands of the Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad Company that are available for sale Map on outside of rear cover is a map showing the leading through routes to the West and the land grants in Iowa & Nebraska of the Chicago Burlington and Quincy R. R. and Burlington & Missouri River Railroad in Nebraska. A scarce and interesting promotional for the sale of 1000000 acres of land owned along the routes of the Burlington and Missouri River Railroad. The Burlington and Missouri put out some of the most interesting and compelling railroad land promotionals in the genre nicely illustrated with maps and plates and this example is no exception. The maps show the lands for sale along the line of the railroad from Monroe Iowa to Omaha; lands in Nebraska from Omaha to Kearney along the South Platte; and a map showing railroad routes from Chicago. The plates are entitled "Looking Southwest from Lincoln Neb." and "Valley of the Big Blue South of Seward Neb." The text is devoted to detailed descriptions of the land including natural resources soil climate stock raising and homesteading opportunities and prices for land and for goods. This publication enjoyed some success; another promotional issued the next year advertised only 750000 acres of land left for sale indicating that the Burlington and Missouri had sold off a quarter million acres of land the previous year. Laid into this copy is a four-page "Circular of Rates on Tickets and Freight" for several railroads including the Burlington & Missouri. Not in Railway Economics nor in the Eberstadt or Decker catalogues. OCLC locates three copies at the American Antiquarian Society Harvard Business School Library and the DeGolyer Library. There is also a copy at Yale. This scarce promotional booklet has covers lightly soiled small chips to the covers covers holding but loose internally quite serviceable. Overall a very good copy. A. Gast & Co. Lith., [1877]. unknown
1874M7548Montreal: Canadian Pacific Railway 1874. Very Good; laid down on acid-free tissue paper for long-term preservation. Notes: A very important and early working map of Alberta and British Columbia depicting existing and suggested railways.<br>There is a note written in period ink in the lower margin in reference to a contemporary marking of newly suggested routes in black ink:<br><br>"Note -- The Surveys made since the publication of the Report & Maps of 1874 shew the routes colored full black line and thus broken black line to be the best lines for railway construction that have been found to this date Oct 1875. Mr. Smith".<br><br>"Mr. Smith" is believed to be Donald A. Smith a major partner in the yet-to-be incorporated Canadian Pacific Railway Company in 1881. <br><br>The routes marked out in red as printed depict potential lines crossing the Rockies to the west of Edmonton at Yellowhead Pass. Almost none of the suggested routes depicted on this map were eventually used--CPR dismissed the use of Yellowhead Pass for a pass farther south in order to discourage competition from railway lines south of the border. They chose instead Kicking Horse Pass which is depicted on this map.

1868WRCAM33573Washington 1868. 39pp. plus large color folding map. Modern maroon cloth gilt maroon morocco label. Minor dust soiling in text. Map bright and clean. Overall very good. An application to Congress by the Northern Pacific Railroad headed by Minnesota railroad magnate James J. Hill for federal aid to support the Railroad's expansion to the West Coast. The petition reviews the railroad's original charter and includes an impressive color folding map "Map of the Country from Lake Superior to the Pacific Ocean" which illustrates the railroad's route from Duluth to Seattle and Portland. This map was originally produced to accompany Edwin Johnson's report on the feasibility of the railroad. This is one of the finest maps of the region traversed to be issued up to this time and was produced by Colton in New York not by the government. Wheat devotes several pages to discussing it noting that "the detail of such a map defies cataloging." Above the map appears an elevation chart for the same distance. <br> <br> A fine account of railroad expansion in the Northwest. Rare. Not on OCLC. MIDLAND NOTES 68-164.

18821204Portland Or: George H. Himes 1882. About very good. 328pp. plus photograph frontispiece. Original printed wrappers. Spine ends chipped; some light dust soiling and wear to wraps. Slight fading to frontispiece photo but a clear image. Light even tanning internally; three leaves with small patches of damp staining. A scarce 1882 promotional for potential excursions from Portland Oregon published in conjunction by the Northern Pacific Railroad and the Oregon Railway & Navigation Company.

The text prints itineraries for ten trips from Portland in the Pacific Northwest to the Cascades the Dalles Seattle Tacoma Olympia Ilwaco and even Alaska almost all via the steamers of the Oregon Railway & Navigation Company. The final four leaves of text contain numerous illustrated advertisements for Portland businesses. The frontispiece photograph of the Multnomah Falls is credited in print to Issac Grundy Davidson. "One of the Northwest's premier photographers Davidson published an extensive series of scenic photographs covering many aspects of life and scenes throughout Oregon Washington and Alaska. He operated portrait studios a traveling gallery and contracted with the Northern Pacific Railroad. A keen businessman who produced the finest photographic record of Oregon during the 1870s-80s" - Mautz. An excellent example of the collaboration between a pre-eminent photographer of the Pacific Northwest and the Northern Pacific Railroad as well as an unusual and scarce specimen of a rail and river travel promotional illustrated with a real photographic print.

184829072New York: Van Norden 1848. The 1st annual report of the Hudson River Railroad not recorded on OCLC. Early reports authorizing the construction of the railroad from NY to Albany are dated 1848; the 2nd Annual Report of the Directors of the Hudson River Railroad is dated August 1849 <br /> The New York & Harlem Railroad NY&H was incorporated in 1831 to build a line in Manhattan from 23rd Street north to 129th Street between Third and Eighth Avenues the railroad chose to follow Fourth Avenue. At first the railroad was primarily a horsecar system but in 1840 the NY&H's charter was amended to allow it to build north toward Albany. In 1844 the rails reached White Plains and in January 1852 the NY&H made connection with the Western Railroad later Boston & Albany at Chatham New York creating a New York-Albany route. The Hudson was a busy river and the towns along it felt no need for a railroad - except during the winter when ice prevented navigation. Poughkeepsie interests organized the Hudson River Railroad in 1847. <br /> <br /> 8vo 24 page pamphlet. Printed paper wrappers one folding sheet of statistics tipped-in.

1851406078New York: Wm. C. Locke & Co 1851. Wrappers chipped at edges professionally rebacked some unobtrusive offsetting on map. 8vo. 50 pages. Large folding map on three joined sheets 21 x 1788 cm; 8.25 x 61.75 inches. 11 woodblock illustrations in text and with 2 more not recorded in the index but always present. Original printed wrappers with woodblock vignette. SCARCE Hudson River Railroad travel guide published the first year in which the full line was completed. It covers points of interest along the route with woodblocks illustrating the text. Topics include: the history of the Hudson River the history of the construction of the Hudson River Railroad and the cities towns and villages along the Hudson from New York City all the way to Troy. Concerning the West Point Foundry at Cold Spring the guide states: "the iron foundry was established here by Gouverneur Kemble. The works are situated about a mile west of the village upon a small stream which tumbles rapidly down the mountains affording considerable water power. It is the largest establishment of its kind in the country employing nearly five hundred hands constantly." The building of the Hudson River Railroad is another topic in the guide. The project was considered highly impractical since much of the route had to be cut through extremely difficult rock and terrain. This section includes a description of the tunnels which had to be constructed. The railroad was opened in three stages. In September 1849 it allowed passengers to travel from New York to Peekskill. By that December 6 twenty-three additional miles were opened extending to New Hamburg. By the 31st of the month it was open the remaining distance of nine miles to Poughkeepsie. The Hudson River Railroad was an extension of the Troy and Greenbush Railroad which was chartered in 1845 connecting Troy South to Greenbush now Rensselaer on the east side of the Hudson. The Hudson River Railroad was chartered on May 12 1846 to extend this line south to New York City. The full line opened on October 3 1851 the same year in which this travel guide was published. WorldCat/OCLC records 25 copies but it is scarcely found complete with the map and the map is also excluded from the digitized versions available online. <br/><br/> Wm. C. Locke & Co unknown books

18563168Cincinnati 1856. Very good. Five issues and supplements totaling 72pp. Spines reinforced. Light tanning and dust soiling; scattered faint foxing. A lengthy extra issue of the Railroad Record with four additional eight-page supplements that together comprise a ringing endorsement from this industry periodical and its editors of the southern route through Texas and the Southwest for the American transcontinental railroad. The first two items of this extra published on October 4 1855 are by Texas Western Railroad owner and promoter Edgar Conkling who exhorts readers to examine the evidence supporting construction along the southern route and to invest in his railroad which was already sanctioned by the Texas state legislature as the text of two laws printed following his address demonstrate. Much of the issue is taken up by extracts from Secretary of War Jefferson Davis' positive report on the route through Texas and by a précis by Colonel A.B. Davis of his exhaustive survey of the proposed path through the recently completed Gadsden Purchase with a double-page map of the intended line. After several other attestations a subscription form is included at the rear for those who wish to purchase stock at $100 per share in the Texas Western Railroad Company. The additional four supplements dating from late 1855 and the first half of 1856 print more arguments in favor of the southern route including a lengthy letter from Thomas Butler King and lead articles with titles such as "What Shall Be Done for a Highway to the Pacific" and "Objections to the Construction of the Pacific Railroad reviewed." The Texas Western never built more than fifty miles of track connection Shreveport Louisiana and Marshall Texas and it was another twenty-five years before the Southern Pacific and Texas & Pacific Railroads connected near El Paso in 1881 to complete the "southern route" as it was originally conceived. unknown

1881List1934BCarson 1881. Single sided receipt measuring 7 ¾ x 4 ½ inches. Near fine with a small tear to bottom of page. Near Fine. A receipt issued for passage from Carson to Badie Nevada in 1881 aboard the Virginia and Truckee Railroad issued with a note that reads “Chinamen†in the remarks section. The Virginia and Truckee was originally built to service the Comstock Lode area in Nevada. Chinese who represented ten percent of Virginia City during the period referred to Nevada as “Yin Shan†which translates to “Silver Mountain.†Chinese people in Nevada held varied jobs in the state perhaps more so than in other parts of the United States with an 1870 census listing Chinese merchants miners laborers laundrymen cooks gamblers and harlots. Despite the heavy involvement of Chinese in Nevada during the period few ephemeral records surface in the trade likely due to the drops in population caused by the Chinese Exclusion Act and perhaps also due to the overall population drop when miners left the region. unknown
