Glimpses of North Dakota is an official state promotional book issued in 1901 by the North Dakota Pan-American Exposition Commission. 62 pages. Measures 9 x 6 1/4 inches.
Contains introductory text bragging about the state\'s ideal climate, gently rolling topography, and superior agricultural potential. Driven by a rich catalog of black-and-white photographs and vignettes:

• The Stock and Cowboy Interests: Pages 30–36 are highly sought after by collectors of Western Americana. They contain vivid photos of Stark County ranges, sheep and cattle ranches, an active cowboy camp, and a wool train out-spanned for dinner.
• Town and City Showcases: It heavily details early street scenes, homes of prominent citizens, public schools, universities, churches, and courthouses in growing hubs like Fargo, Grand Forks, Valley City, Mayville, Devil\'s Lake, Jamestown, Lisbon, Cooperstown, and Walhalla.
• The Mandan Bias Political Oddity: Interestingly, historians note a distinct regional bias inside. Mandan and Morton County are featured prominently with extensive text and images, while locations in Burleigh County and the state capital of Bismarck were left completely absent—reflecting internal state political rivalries of the 1901 commission planners.

Very good condition.
