About this Item
4to. cloth, gilt on cover. (146) pages. Illustrated and Embellished with Views of One of the Most Resourceful Yet Undeveloped Sections of the Rocky Mountain Region. First edition of this rare book. Spine faded, rubbing to spine ends, minor shelfwear. Edges of the covers show some spotting. Internally a very good copy. A wonderful and elaborate promotional work for Laramie, Wyoming, courtesy of the Van Horn-Miller Co-operative Trust. Extensively illustrated with half-tones, the book extols the virtue of Laramie and the surrounding area, depicting city streets, mining operations, ranches, prominent citizens, timber lands, and much more. Also includes a map of the railroad lines in the area. Despite this lavish production -- or perhaps because of it -- Van Horn declared bankruptcy in 1913, with liabilities in excess of $750,000.
