A rare promotional piece advertising The Hotel Balmoral and Mt. McGregor Railroad Company, aimed at tourists visiting Saratoga Springs, New York, for a mountain-top excursion. A timetable inside notes that the train journey from Saratoga Springs to the summit of Mt. McGregor took about 35 minutes. Visitors could enjoy expansive views from the summit and tour General Grant’s Drexel Cottage. In a nineteenth-century hand, “July 23, 1885” is neatly inked at the bottom of the back cover.
