[Geysers] Geyserland 1908

[Richard Asano]

FYI, according to http://www.westegg.com/inflation, $47.50 in 1908 would be equivalent to $1137.98 in 2010 dollars taking inflation into account.  That's still inexpensive if the calculator is correct.

Very interesting.  Thanks, John.

Interesting brochure, for sure. I especially like the rates for tours, 
listed on the last page. $47.50, I think it was, for a 4 day tour with hotel 
accommodations. .. Thanks, John.

  “Geyserland” is the title of a brochure published by the 
  Oregon Short Line Railroad (OSL) to promote the 1908 season at Yellowstone. 
  The OSL was one of only two railroads who built tracks close to the Park 
  entrances, and, of course, at that time the primary way to reach the Park for 
  most tourists was via train. Since my collection of Yellowstone memorabilia 
  focuses on the railroads that served YNP I’m always on the lookout for the 
  relatively scarce OSL publications. I recently found this brochure and thought 
  it was interesting enough to be worth the effort to scan it and put it online. 
  Many of you Geyser Gazers may want to take a look. There is one page entitled 
  Geyser Time Table. That page says “Prepared upon the authority of Official 
  Guide, Joseph Peng, Old Faithful Inn, whose observations in the Park have 
  covered 17 years.” Interestingly enough, in the several years I have been 
  watching the Geyser List, I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a mention of Mr. 
  Peng.
   
  If you do choose to take a look, be sure to click on a 
  photo to get to the larger views which, hopefully, are large enough to read 
  the text if you wish to do so.
