The front page has a full column taken up with a wonderful: "Description of the Overland Route" from Los Angeles to Springfield, Illinois.
This is a terrific and very descriptive account of the overland route, with mentions of Los Angeles, Temecula, Indian Wells, Fort Yuma El Paso and many other locales. Much also on the troubles encountered along the way.
