Excerpt from Crofutt's Trans-Continental Tourist: Containing a Full and Authentic Description of Over Five Hundred Cities, Towns, Villages, Stations, Government Forts and Camps, Mountains, Lakes, Rivers, Sulphur, Soda, and Hot Springs, Scenery, Watering Places, Summer Resorts The author, being naturally modest, the writing of a Preface comes exceedingly difficult.

Million of the most adventurous, active, honest and progressive white people that the world can produce - people that are build ing cities, towns and villages as though by magic; prospecting, discovering and developing the great treasure chambers of the continent; extending our grand system of railroads all over the country, like a vast net-work or engaged in the cultivation of the inexhaustible soil, which is literally causing the wilderness to blossom like the rose. Where such mighty changes are taking place so rapidly, it would indeed be a. Wonder if some of the numberless improvements that are in progress were not omitted.
