The three authors heard reports of the natural wonders of Yellowstone and motivated by a desire for adventure as well as their desire to map the region, the three men departed Diamond City, Montana Territory in 1869. Despite their encounters with hostile Indians, a shortage of food and supplies, and other dangers and hardships, they were able to complete the exploration and confirm the report of earlier and less literate visitors. They were the first of several explorations which led to the creation of our first national park. A clean very presentable copy in a Brodart mylar jacket.

A single but notable issue from this influential and important digest, which was the foundation of the Johnson Publishing empire. In addition to excerpting articles by and about African-Americans from other publications, there was also much original content written expressly for the magazine. This issue is especially notable for printing the articles "Love or Babies: Must Negro Mothers Choose?" by Margaret Sanger; "condensations" from Mbonue Ojike's *My Africa* and Erskine Caldwell's *In the Uplands*; and war correspondent W. Randy Dixon's article on Black WWII hero Corporal Waverly Woodson Jr.; and David O. Selznick's "Negro Lobby in Hollywood." The monthly article "If I Were A Negro" was penned by author and activist Fannie Cook, and titled "An Atomic Approach to Racism." An important magazine; early issues are uncommon.
