Zustand: Good. First edition. 68pp. With Map. Covers detached, but present (map still attached to rear wrap). There is a small abraded area in the top fore-edge corner of the title page. The map has a handful of small closed tears. Scarce. The map, entitled "Oregon Railroad and Navigation Co. Map of Principal Mining Districts of the Pacific Northwest," has an inset of the "Baker City Mining Region." From the opening of the text- "What the typical easterner never read, or heard, or imagined, of that vast and varied empire, vaguely characterized as The West, includes about all there is to be told or written of it. Half the world- a mighty hemisphere, incomparable in grandeur, incomputable in riches, and illimitable in possibilities- lies west of all their geographies. Their maps are all too narrow, their ideas all too small. 'Having eyes, they see not, and having ears, they hear not; neither do they understand,' that all the boundless productive powers and possibilities of the new-world republic lie in the matchless region, which they, in their arrogant ignorance, stigmatize as 'the wild and wooly west.'".
