Like yesterday’s booklet, this one is dated 1886. But information in the back describes the tourist season of 1887, so this one must have been published at the end of the year while yesterday’s was at the beginning. There is no other Wonderland booklet for 1887, so this must have been it.

Other than the replacement of yesterday’s dynamic cover with today’s relatively boring one, there are only a few differences between the two booklets. John Hyde’s Northwest travelogue has a few new paragraphs at the end (probably written by someone else at the NP) describing a six-day tour of the Northwest. Frederick Schwatka’s article is unchanged. The two pages describing the tourist season of 1887 are new; similar pages weren’t included in the 1886 booklet.

These and most of the other Wonderland booklets were all copyrighted by Northern Pacific general passenger agent Charles Lee. Yet NP did not make any profit from the booklets, sending them to anyone in exchange for six cents in postage stamps. Normally, advertising material cannot be copyrighted and I suspect NP copyrighted these to give the impression that these booklets were more than just advertising.
