Through the Buffalo Bill Country

We’ve previously seen Burlington booklets advertising the Cody Road entrance into Yellowstone Park from 1917, 1937, and 1946. This one happens to be from 1930.

This booklet shares many of the photos from the 1937 booklet and even a few from the 1946 booklet, by which time the automobiles shown in the photos had long been out of style. Apparently, the gravel roads shown in the 1917 booklet were still at least partly unpaved by 1946. That probably was corrected soon after the war. Although the 1937 booklet has two color photos on the cover and an odd, aquamarine color for highlights on the inside, I prefer the sepia/orange tones on this one, partly because the colors in the 1937 cover photos don’t really match reality.
