Excerpt from Royal Naval Exhibition, 1891: The Illustrated Handbook and Souvenir The object of the present Pall [mall Extra is sufficiently explained by its title: An Illustrated Handbook and Souvenir. Exhibition visitors may be divided into two classes. There are, first, the studious experts, proof against exhibition head ache, who will make a point of examining every exhibit, good, bad, and indifferent, and for whom nothing short of the exhaustive Official Catalogue will suffice. And, secondly, there is the general visitor, who welcomes some assistance in selecting the most memorable and attractive exhibits only. 'it is.for this kind of visitor that the following pages aim at supplying an illustrated guide and pictorial souvenir. The Plan of the Exhibition (on' p. 3) will have sufficiently explained the method on which this Guide is arranged. The visitor who does not care to make the complete tour, but who wishes to con sult the Guide on any particular section of'the Exhibition, will at once find what he wants by consulting the table of contents given above.

Tourists started visiting the American West in sizable numbers after the Union Pacific and Central Pacific Railroads were completed in 1869. Contemporary travel brochures and guidebooks of the 1870s sold tourists on the spectacular scenery of the West, and depicted its cities as extensions of the natural landscape—as well as places where efficient business operations and architectural grandeur prevailed—all now easily accessible thanks to the relative comfort of transcontinental rail travel. Yet as people flocked to western cities, it was the everyday life that captured their interest—the new technologies, incessant clatter, and all the upheaval of modern metropolises. In Manifest Destinations, J. Philip Gruen examines the ways in which tourists experienced Chicago, Denver, Salt Lake City, and San Francisco between 1869 and 1893, a period of rapid urbanization and accelerated modernity. Gruen pays particular attention to the contrast between the way these cities were promoted and the way visitors actually experienced them. Guidebooks made Chicago, Denver, Salt Lake City, and San Francisco seem like picturesque environments sprinkled with civilized buildings and refined people. But Gruen’s research in diaries, letters, and traveler narratives shows that tourists were interested—as tourists usually are—in the unexpected encounters that characterize city life. Visitors relished the cities’ unfamiliar storefronts and advertising, public transit systems, ethnic diversity, and multiple dwellings in all their urban messiness. They thrust themselves into the noise, danger, and cacophony. Western cities did not always live up to the marketing strategies of guidebooks, but the western cities’ fast pace and many novelties held extraordinary appeal to visitors from the East Coast and abroad. In recounting lively anecdotes, and by focusing on tourist perceptions of everyday life in western cities, Gruen shows how these cities developed the economy of tourism to eventually encompass both the urban and the natural West.
