Western Wonderlands: 1935

We’ve seen Western Wonderlands booklets dated 1931 and 1938 and Western Wonderlands brochures dated 1953 and 1958. This booklet from 1935 is shorter than the 1931 edition but contains more information than the post-war brochures. Naturally, it covers all the main UP tourist destinations: California, Colorado, the Pacific Northwest, southern Utah, and Yellowstone.

The cover illustration is based on a photo on page 12, or one taken a few moments apart from that photo. The photo shows a man fishing and two people seated in the car. The illustration substitutes a well-dressed woman gazing at the river for the angler. Since the car is a two seater, it makes you wonder how she was supposed to have gotten there.
