This is an exceptionally rare original 1893 first edition piece and is considered one of the earlier (or earliest) Haynes Yellowstone Park Guide Books. The piece is titled, "All About Yellowstone Park A Practical Guide Containing Descriptions, Illustrations, Maps, Distances, Altitudes and Geyser Time Tables" and is by Albert Brewer Guptill (1854-1931) with excellent illustrations and photographs by F. Jay Haynes. The book shows a deep maroon cover with gilt gold lettering and is stamped on the lower front, "1893". This is published by F. Jay Haynes. Haynes was the official photographer of the Northern Pacific Railroad. The book also includes the very rare original circa 1882 Map of the Yellowstone National Park (Carl J. Hals and A. Rydstrom). The book appears to be in good condition for its age. Measures 6 5/8"x5 1/8" and is 1/2" thick.
