About This Item
Aberdeen, S.D., 1907. Very good.. [162]pp., with numerous photographic reproductions. Oblong octavo. Original pictorial wrappers. Wraps with light wear and a few small chips. Scarce promotional for the town of Aberdeen, South Dakota, located in the northeastern corner of the state. Known as "the Hub City of the Dakotas," Aberdeen was a confluence of four railroad lines, which supported a burgeoning population and business boom. The town, its residences, businesses, railroads, artesian wells, and municipal buildings are all extensively illustrated, together with portraits of local officials. Today, only one railroad line travels through Aberdeen, but it remains the third most populous city in the state (population a whopping 28,000), after Pierre and Sioux Falls. We locate copies at New York Public, California State Library, SMU, and four more in South Dakota.
