Incidents of a trip through the great Platte Valley, to the Rocky Mountains and Laramie Plains, in the fall of 1866, with a synoptical statement of the various Pacific railroads, and an account of the great Union Pacific railroad excursion to the one hundreth meridian of longitude
Silas Seymour's 1867 travel account published in New York by D. Van Nostrand, describing a fall 1866 trip through the Platte Valley and Laramie Plains with the Union Pacific railroad excursion. The single picture is a tipped-in portrait of a bearded man in soft tonal shading, with a handwritten signed dedication beneath, showing a period presentation-plate convention a designer could borrow for vintage memorial or testimonial layouts.
