For your consideration is this beautiful 1914 copy of "The Great Salt Lake Trail". Originally published in 1898, the book was co-written by Colonel Henry Inman and Colonel William F. Cody (a.k.a. Buffalo Bill). From the Preface: "There are seven historic trails crossing the great plains of the interior of the continent, all of which for a portion of their distance traverse the geographical limits of what is now the prosperous commonwealth of Kansas. None of these primitive highways, however, [except the Santa Fe], has a more stirring story than that known as the Salt Lake Trail." This was the trail of the Pony Express, the Overland Stage, and the trail the Mormons took to reach Salt Lake. Buffalo Bill's career started on this trail. The book has a frontspiece, black and white illustrations, and a foldout map. Green pictorial cover with gilt title on the front and spine; gilt top edge. The book is in very fine condition. It measures 6.25" x 9" x 1.5".
