Excerpt from Western Resorts for Health and Pleasure Reached Via Union Pacific Railway, Overland Route To a vast majority of our people this great country was, until within the last few years, practically a sealed book, when its treasures of climate, scenery, and products were opened up to the world, by the original completion and the later extension of the Union Pacific Railway, the overland route. It will be found that only a few of the most attractive and important points on this great transcontinental highway have been mentioned in the following pages, because suitable accommodations have not as yet been prepared at all of them for the tourist, and the health and pleasure seeker. There are hundreds of other points that only await the magic touch of progress to awake from the sleep of ages, as did the fabled princess who awaited the coming of her prince. Year by year, more and more of these resorts will be developed for the entertainment and benefit of mankind.
