Description
Eventually both Disturnell and Tanner found their guides eclipsed by D. Appleton & Company’s guide in the late 1840’s. This book from 1847 shows how widespread the railroad network had become and how necessary it was to have a guide to navigate one’s trip upon it. Appleton’s Guide would continue as the standard for decades until it was supplanted by the Official Railway Guide in the 1860’s.
