This 1939 booklet is one of the first in which the Great Northern used color photos, no doubt partly inspired by the introduction of Kodachrome in 1935. Though limited to the inside and outside front and back covers, the color photos are so stunning that they sell the vacation despite the fact that the photos on the remaining 24 pages are black-and-white.

Noting that the “most photographed Indians in America are the Blackfeet in Glacier National Park,” the booklet has an entire page of black-and-white photos of Indians. The inside and outside back covers also feature three dignified-looking Indians of various ages wearing colorful costumes that would attract any photographer’s interest.
