Unknown
Places in Idaho
In 1927, the Union Pacific Railroad
issued an illustrated 54-page brochure touting the scenic wonders and
wildlife of the state of Idaho. The text was written by Idaho's chief promoter,
Robert
W. Limbert, explorer, naturalist, and operator of a dude ranch in the
majestic Sawtooth Mountains. The photos inside were his own.
Limbert's brochure promoted both Idaho's scenic wonders and the
railroad as well, for the landmarks described were no more than a day trip
away from the closest station of the
Union Pacific system. The brochure folded to 4 by 9
inches, to fit conveniently into a purse, vest pocket, or glove
compartment. Travel on with us to the
