This lot features a vintage blast from the past in the form of a 1941 "Burlington Escorted Tours to the Western Wonderlands" tour booklet. For 1941, Burlington Escorted Tours offered 36 different tours, including many tours combining two or more destinations such as Glacier, Yellowstone, the Pacific Northwest, California, and the Canadian Rockies. To fit all these tours in the booklet, it is 8 pages longer than the 1939 and 1940 booklets. As was custom for that era, photographs are beautifully illustrated in black and white, yet none of the majesty that typifies the western US and Canada is minimized. Pages 28 & 29 present a map of the different scenic rail routes followed by the tours, some of which are still active today via Amtrak and the Canadian Railway System. The booklet has 56 pages, all including the covers, are in good condition, some pencil writing visible on some pages. Booklet measures 11"L x 8.5"W
