Lot: 554 Description: KANSAS PACIFIC RAILWAY - 1873 souvenir booklet titled, "Colorado Resorts & Attractions to the Pleasure Seeker, Tourist & Invalid." 40 pages of destinations with descriptions and advertising. An excerpt from the section titled, "Resort for Invalids," as follows, "There is another great army of sufferers, impossible to classify, who will find this country peculiarly adapted to their rapid and thorough restoration. We refer to those who, by close application, sedentary avocations, in door confinement, or nervous wear and tear from afflictions, financial reverses or social discordances, have become shattered in constitution, unfit for any kind of business, and tired of life. For such, here are new scenes, fresh experiences, intimate communion with nature in her most persuasive moods, rest from the world, and the best of all balms for hurt consciences and constitutions--sleep." Now that’s a well written reason to move to Colorado!!! Cover binding torn with light discoloration. Still a great piece. Minimum bid: $100 Price Realized: $140 |
