Scarce guide concentrating on the newly opening railways. There were apparently two variant issues with differing paginations and number of maps - the one cited by Howes had only two maps. The maps in the present copy are a map showing the railroad connections of the West, 1870; map of the Kansas Pacific and Denver Pacific railways, showing lands for sale by the National Land Company; and a map of Atlantic & Pacific & South Pacific Rail Road Co. of Missouri, 1870 (this latter with 3" stub tear). Not sold at auction over the last 35 years, according to American Book Prices Current. Howes T324.
