About This Item
[Chicago: Poole Bros, 1928. Very good plus.. 32pp. Original pictorial wrappers, stapled. Minor wear and dust-soiling to wrappers. Internally clean. A vibrant depiction of the great city of San Antonio, Texas produced by the Missouri Pacific Railroad during the latter part of the Roaring Twenties. The promotional work is profusely illustrated with photographs accompanied by text touting the many advantages of the Alamo City. The images feature well-known attractions such as the Alamo, Alamo Plaza, various missions, and the downtown commercial buildings, intermixed with lesser-known aspects of San Antonio life such as the golf and polo scenes, Olmos Dam, Fort Sam Houston, Medina Lake, and others. The photographs includes an "Aerial View of the Heart of San Antonio." The Missouri Pacific also includes a bit about itself, with photographs of the "Sunset Special" locomotive and the Missouri Pacific Lines' Bridge across the Mississippi River at Memphis, plus a map of the line on the last page. OCLC records just a handful of institutional copies of this edition.
