A Trip Across the Continent From Chicago to Reno
A travelogue recounts a cross country journey beginning in Chicago with a note on a dog store and gun violence fears, then describes the San Francisco Overland Limited, observation cars, and a Ford man in pursuit. The route passes Council Bluffs, Omaha, and through the Rockies to Utah and Nevada, noting salt lake conditions, Brigham Young history, and Reno as a modern stop with hotels and depots.
