Description:

"Thanks to the favorable position of Mr. Dr. Mieczyslaw Orłowicz, who allowed the use of his guides and the cooperation offered to me .... ...the present guide has seen the light of day. In the photographic pictures given to me gratuitously, I have depicted the beauty and romance of nature and monuments....

... I aimed to acquaint the broad strata of society with the richness and beauty of nature and the age-old possessions of our culture. The guide is intended to make it easier to visit and get to know our borderland land, thus contributing to a deeper love of it, because you can only love what you know.

And to know we have:

The borderland with the graves of its defenders against the "locusts from the east" in ancient and recent times, where next to the forgotten graves and barrows from the battles against the Tatars, Turks and Wallachians are fresh graves of Legionaries, Krechowiec uhlans and volunteers;

The land bearing the historical beauty of Polish culture, walking centuries ago through forests, bogs and steppes, and marking its eagle trail with the construction of God's houses, castles, castles, settlements, workshops - on whose ruins and ruins, often for centuries, our Fathers built a new life and persevered in it;

A land that still possesses the pristine natural beauty of the Carpathian Mountains, which we want to preserve in the reserves that are being created - and that has countless economic riches, such as forests, deposits of salt, oil, wax, natural gases and hydropower, In a word, this is a land that should be loved and on which to work and live." (From the preface)

The guide contains, among other things, descriptions of the towns of Stanislaviv (now Ivano-Frankivsk), Bubnishch, Delatin, Halich, Yaremcze, Kalush, Kolomyja, Kosmach, Kosiv, Kuty, Maniava, Mikuliv, Nadwórna, Rafaylov, Rozlucz, Skole, Slawsko, Stryi, Turka, Vorokhta, Zabie, Zydachiv.
