Book Description
Excerpt from Crofutt's New Overland Tourist, and Pacific Coast Guide, 1882: Containing a Condensed and Authentic Description of Over One Thousand Three Hundred Cities, Towns, Villages, Stations, Government Fort and Camps, Mountains, Lakes, Rivers, Sulphur, Soda and Hot Springs, Scenery, Watering Places and Summer ResortsFrom the first issue of our book, in 1869, imitators have been numer ous; no less than thirty-one Guide-books, Tourists' Hand-books and Books of Travels across the Continent, etc., etc., have been issued, most of which were compiled in the East - without their compilers traveling over one foot of the route, or, at least, not spending more than a few days on the road - while we have spent the best part of every year since 1860 ac quiring the information - every item of which we are prepared to verify.To some correspondents across the continent our books have proved an unusual God-send, enabling them to minutely describe the wonders of the trip passed in the night, while sleeping soundly in a palace car, equally as well as though they were awake and in perpetual daylight. Now we do not mean to complain of these experimenters, as they are doubtless good fellows, but we do expect the courtesies usually ex tended by all honorable writers.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
