1. Am I missing something, or are they using the Henry Ford definition of “colors” (…as long as it’s black)?

2. I put up this ad partly because maps are interesting but also partly because of that funny disconnect, Last Lemming. In reality, the map you purchased in 1929 was in color — but the 1929 technology of the magazine didn’t allow for printing in color within its own pages. Even the color covers that were in use at that date were printed elsewhere and purchased by the Juvenile Instructor, which then printed its own title and date on the front and its own advertising on the back before binding it with the locally-printed interior matter.

3. Why is there so much “white space” on the map? I get that Zions Camp didn’t go further south or east, but why not put in the general features of the southern states?

4. Nice to see you again, Julia.

   I have no answer, other than supposing they wanted to keep the emphasis tightly on the Mormon path. Even in the territory shown, there are no place names more local than a state name unless those places are directly involved in Mormon history.
