In Search of the Golden West: The Tourist in Western America, Second Edition
Earl Pomeroy
The first transcontinental railroads brought fashionable easterners to the American West. In the 1880s and 1890s they travelled in sumptuous ""palace cars"" and stayed at luxury hotels. This volume offers splendid old-time photographs and descriptions of nabobs, hucksters, naturalists, dudes, realtors, and motorists - all those who sought the reality and created the myth of the Golden West.
