California Calls You

Chicago: Union Pacific, 1913. 1st. Original wrappers. 8vo. 40pp. Photo-illustrations; map. Color illustrated staplebound wrappers in near fine condition (minor wear & soiling). Beautiful example of early California promotional brochure. "Today, these brochures are prized by collectors and institutions alike, not only for their visual appeal but also as a record of California's burgeoning cities and towns. They reveal better than anywhere else the Golden State's remarkable growth and transformation from a remote region to a booming, densely populated and developed state." (Kurutz, "California Calls You").
