Rails Around the Bohemian Grove (1973) David F. Myrick - Lawton Kennedy
Bohemian Special Edition
Up for sale is a beautiful, highly collectible copy of "Rails Around the Bohemian Grove" by noted Western railroad historian David F. Myrick.
Published in 1973, this scarce volume is a must-have crossover piece for collectors of California rail history, North Pacific Coast Railroad memorabilia, and Bohemian Club ephemera.
### ABOUT THIS EDITION
This short, 39-page historical overview was beautifully produced as a fine-press limited printing by the renowned San Francisco typographic designers Lawton and Alfred Kennedy.
As stated on the copyright page, this special edition was prepared exclusively for presentation to members of the Bohemian Club at their 1973 Summer Encampment in Monte Rio, California. Because it was privately distributed and never intended for commercial retail sale, copies are exceptionally difficult to find today.
### HISTORICAL CONTENT
The book beautifully details the historical transport of members to their secluded redwood retreat via the Tiburon Ferry and the narrow-gauge North Pacific Coast Railroad. The front and rear endpapers feature a detailed reproduction of a historic 1897 map from Reynolds & Proctor's Illustrated Atlas of Sonoma County.
