Colored by county with a good amount of detail including all railroad stations. Folds into 8vo self-wrappers (4" x 9") titled "Letters From Along the Line of the L&N From Intelligent and Reliable Northern Farmers Who are now Cultivating South Lands," with the railroad's red & black logo, Victorian lettering and filigree flourishes. The verso contains a panel marketing the "Good Faming Lands" available at 'Unprecedentedly Low' prices in the states of Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi and Florida, plus many testimonials further encouraging emigration to and investment in these states.
