Description
This booklet outlines the advantages that the Saint Paul and Pacific Railroad held due to its land grants and location. The company had been reorganized after a bankruptcy and was trying to get investments to finish its line West and potentially be a link in a Northern Transcontinental Railroad. Unfortunately, the line would once again go bankrupt. James J. Hill would take over the company in 1878, and it would become part of the nucleus of his railroad empire.
