This is a rare and VERY collectible YELLOWSTONE PARK TOURS brochure/booklet that was produced in the late 1800s or turn of the century by Chicago, Milwaukee, & St. Paul Railway. It was discovered (as were some other items that I currently have listed) in an old house in Des Moines, Iowa during a roof tear-off (shingled right in). The picture of hot pots on the cover is in color (probably a hand-painted photo) and seems to be a card that was glued onto it in a gold-leaf border and all the letters on the cover are raised and in gold-leaf. The cover is made from a brown textured, heavier stock paper and it does have some some wear and SMALL peices missing and about a one inch tear at the top of it w it bends or folds. The whole booklet was bound with a gold cord but all of it is missing except for the inside peice of it. The rest of the pictures in the book are in very good condition, black & white, and you can tell by the dress of the people in one photo that this brouchure is from turn of the century by the style of the clothing. The photos and the write-up describing the scenes are priceless. The book measures 11 and 1/2 inches long, 7 and 1/4 inches wide, and it has eight slick pages in all. This is a RARE, HISTORICAL, ONE-OF-A-KIND peice of Railroad/Yellowstone memorabilia that you, a friend, or loved one could cherish or it could
