This official program has 48 pages More pages of photographs than of official descriptions of the event. Established in part to provide San Diego with a direct transcontinental rail link to the east by connecting with the Southern Pacific Railroad the line ended at El Centro California - the 148-miles. Started in 1906; it was not officially finished until 1919 due to government and world war delays. --- --- --- Surveyors called the San Diego and Arizona Railway SD&A “The Impossible Railroad” because of its jagged mountainous and brutal desert route. The financier and driving force behind building this binational 148-mile rail connection to the east from San Diego California was businessman John D. Spreckels. Because of his perseverance the jinxed 1907–1919 construction overcame a series of disasters including the Mexican Revolution a prolonged lawsuit floods World War I labor shortages a tunnel cave-in and a lethal pandemic. Once up and running the line was intermittently in and out of service and later sold and renamed the San Diego and Arizona Eastern Railway. While “The Impossible Railroad” still faces constant challenges and partial closures freight and trolley service currently operate on its right-of-way and tourist excursions are offered at its Campo California depot.

1874Best.-Nr. 76466Worcester: The West & Lee Game and Printing Co. 1874. First edition. Small octavo. 31 1 pp. plus five foldout engravings of people playing the games numerous textual illustrations of required equipment. Publisher's printed light sage wrappers. A couple of chips to the lower corner of rear wrappers one of the foldouts with a tear at the fold-line light spine erosion. But a very good copy of this very ephemeral piece. Game rules seem to have had short life spans.There is no history or definition of this game but from reading the catalog it seems to be a variety of croquet. But instead of simple hoops this game used very elaboarate and expensive pieces. Castles that actually look like castles for example. This was an expensive piece of advertising and surely was meant more as a promotional than as a catalog. A yard game for the well heeled. The West & Lee Game and Printing Co. unknown
