1871 - This 6.5" x 9.5" x 1.75" volume contains the 1871 Rocky Mountain Directory in new binding. The front page of the directory has been stamped "Otto M Blake/ Black Hawk Livery" in two places. The title page indicates that 1871 is the "First Year of Publication" of this directory, compiled and published by S.S. Wallihan & Company of Denver, CO. This directory includes 442 numbered pages and additional leaves of ads in the beginning and rear of this bound volume. Illustrations include ads for sulkies (small carts) and other buggies, a full-page ad for the "Phelps Process" for treating refractory gold, St. Louis Chemical works, and many others. The directory itself includes descriptive passages on history, geography, diverse counties, inhabitants, and businesses through the states of Colorado, Nevada, Idaho, and others--with special focus on Colorado. Extensive sections also include discourse on mining operations throughout the state of Colorado. Although this directory has been rebound, and many of its page corners are folded, stained, or torn, this is a fascinating item from the early 1870s. -61532
