An Illustrated Late Victorian Colorado Travel Guide Annotated
![Jese Leos](https://labyrinth.bookgemstone.com/author/christopher-woods.jpg)
Colorado, with its breathtaking Rocky Mountains, has long been a popular destination for travelers. In the late 19th century, the state was experiencing a boom in tourism, and many travel guides were published to help visitors plan their trips. One of the most popular of these guides was An Illustrated Late Victorian Colorado Travel Guide, published in 1892. This guide provides a wealth of information about Colorado's attractions, from its scenic landscapes to its mining towns. It is also beautifully illustrated with dozens of engravings and maps.
The Guide's Author
The author of An Illustrated Late Victorian Colorado Travel Guide was William Henry Jackson, a renowned photographer and artist. Jackson was born in New York in 1843, and he began his career as a photographer in the Union Army during the Civil War. After the war, he traveled west and spent many years photographing the American frontier. Jackson's photographs were instrumental in promoting tourism to the Rocky Mountains, and his travel guide was one of the most popular resources for visitors to Colorado.
