A Very Good copy of this scarce booklet which accompanied a collection of stereoview prints of Yellowstone National Park.  Brown striated cloth over thin boards, bright gilt titles on top board.  Multi-panel folding map is present inside the back cover.  With rare DJ, not seen elsewhere.  No publication date listed on title page; copyright for the map system is 1900.  Map bears copyright date of 1905. 

This little book was published as the companion to a set of thirty stereoview photographs that depicted the natural wonders of Yellowstone.  The booklet begins with a general description of the park, followed by detailed descriptions of all thirty stereoviews.  The views were likely by Norman A. Forsyth (1869-1949), a photographer who operated a studio out of Butte, Montana from 1904-1930, working for Underwood and Underwood and later Keystone View Company.
