A rare and well-executed production, printed on heavy stock paper with numerous photographic plates, issued by the Laramie, Hahns Peak and Pacific Railway Company. Promotes the wealth of agriculture and mining possibilities in Wyoming, as well as northwestern Colorado and northeastern Utah, which run along the publisher's railroad expansion lines. Includes several industry related images along with pictures of railroad construction, towns, workers, farmers, and other natural wonders of the area.

Note: Apparently lacks the large folding map that was issued and placed in the rear of the book; however, the book makes no mention nor does it call for any such map.
