Riguardo questo articolo

Promotional pamphlet by the real estate firm of R.M. & G.L. Cobban with agricultural facts and statistics for Sweet Grass County in southern Montana, and advertisements by the firm for locating a homestead. Although a portion of Montana was acquired as part of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, it was not admitted into the union until 1889 and grew slowly in the succeeding years. This brochure encourages Easterners to give up paying rents and move to Montana: "If not gifted with a fat purse he still has the opportunity of securing a piece of land from Uncle Sam - his birth right - and like thousands of others in Montana today, make good while earning his title thereto living upon it." Pamphlet, [28] p., printed in black and white. Includes photographic illustrations, charts of comparative crop yields in various regions, and a map of the state on the verso of the front panel. Original pictorial paper wrappers (6 1/2" x 9"), bound with two staples. Near fine. Scarce, no copies in the marketplace. OCLC locates five holdings: Columbia, Montana Historical Society, Washington State, Yale, and Southern Methodist.
