Some trails have been gone over in pink marker on the Mount Washington Range map, suggesting that the original owner took those routes, or planned a trip on those routes. There was also "300" written on the top right corner, suggesting a price of $3.00 for the map. On the other map, shelters and huts have been underlined. The collector has placed a piece of paper in the book with some notes on it. "1917, Field Edn. Complete with both original issue loose maps. 1917 Northern Peaks1918 (crossed out and replaced with 1920) Mt. Washington Range + The 2 supplements (that were issue prior to 1920 guide).
