Oblong small quarto. Photo album lacking the front and rear boards with 230 gelatin silver photographs, measuring between 1.5" x 1.5" and 5.5" x 3.5", some with captions. Good only album with about near fine photos with some images creased, torn, and detached.

The album also contains eight images of Omaha after a 1913 tornado; as well as shots of downtown Vale, Oregon, including the drug store, hardware store, and saddlery; Wichita, Kansas from a hotel overlooking the Hauser-Garrison Dry Goods and the nearby train station on Douglas Ave, and scattered shots of Idaho and New Mexico.
