281, [1] pp. Illustrated throughout with wood engravings, including numerous folding plates on blue paper; large folding map at front. (8vo), original purple cloth, stamped in black.

The new Crofutt guide was first published in 1878, and made an annual appearance with revisions for some time thereafter. Wonderfully illustrated with plates depicting railway routes and scenery from all over the West. Crofutt guides rarely escaped heavy use; the present copy in above average condition and with the often lacking folding map.
