From the Colton Storm catalogue: "The upper half consists of a map while the lower half comprises the text. In the text Butterfield presses the advantages of his route over that chosen. The broadside was circulated by parties dissatisfied with the decision of Postmaster General Brown of Tennessee to take the road through Tennessee and bypass northern cities".
