A promotional pamphlet forcefully arguing for Vallejo in the northwestern part of the San Francisco Bay area as potentially the greatest harbor in the region. A printed note at the bottom of the wrapper title reads: "This Pamphlet is a re-publication of series of editorial articles which appeared in the Solano County Advertiser from December, 1868, to May 1869."

Alas, it was not to be. The maps are "San Francisco and San Pablo Bays" and "Map of California Pacific Railroad," both by Britton & Rey; the Streeter copy contained only one map.
