1868réf. 33573Washington. 1868. With Johnson's Great Map of the Northern Pacific Route An application to Congress by the Northern Pacific Railroad headed by Minnesota railroad magnate James J. Hill for federal aid to support the Railroad's expansion to the West Coast. The petition reviews the railroad's original charter and includes an impressive color folding map "Map of the Country from Lake Superior to the Pacific Ocean" which illustrates the railroad's route from Duluth to Seattle and Portland. This map was originally produced to accompany Edwin Johnson's report on the feasibility of the railroad. This is one of the finest maps of the region traversed to be issued up to this time and was produced by Colton in New York not by the government. Wheat devotes several pages to discussing it noting that "the detail of such a map defies cataloging." Above the map appears an elevation chart for the same distance. A fine account of railroad expansion in the Northwest. Rare. Not on OCLC. 39pp. plus large color folding map. Modern maroon cloth gilt maroon morocco label. Minor dust soiling in text. Map bright and clean. Overall very good. MIDLAND NOTES 68-164. WHEAT TRANSMISSISSIPPI 1169. hardcover

1874réf. M7548Montreal: Canadian Pacific Railway 1874. Very Good; laid down on acid-free tissue paper for long-term preservation. Notes: A very important and early working map of Alberta and British Columbia depicting existing and suggested railways. There is a note written in period ink in the lower margin in reference to a contemporary marking of newly suggested routes in black ink: "Note -- The Surveys made since the publication of the Report & Maps of 1874 shew the routes colored full black line and thus broken black line to be the best lines for railway construction that have been found to this date Oct 1875. Mr. Smith". "Mr. Smith" is believed to be Donald A. Smith a major partner in the yet-to-be incorporated Canadian Pacific Railway Company in 1881. The routes marked out in red as printed depict potential lines crossing the Rockies to the west of Edmonton at Yellowhead Pass. Almost none of the suggested routes depicted on this map were eventually used--CPR dismissed the use of Yellowhead Pass for a pass farther south in order to discourage competition from railway lines south of the border. They chose instead Kicking Horse Pass which is depicted on this map.

1900réf. 6878San Francisco; Chicago: Southern Pacific Railroad; Printed by Poole Bros 1900. Duodecimo-size booklet 14.75 x 8.5 cm. 80 pages. Blue and brown ink on pink paper. Two photographic portraits Monsieur and Madame Bégué. Illustrations. List of railway agents. Title from cover. In logo at head of title: Southern Pacific Sunset Route. ~ Evident FIRST EDITION. A souvenir anthology of writings including sixty recipes from two landmark New Orleans restaurants offered for sale to customers traveling the Sunset Route San Francisco–New Orleans by the Southern Pacific Railroad Company. A sampling: Mutton Feet à la Créole Liver à la Bégué Jambalaya of Chicken Codish with White Beans Bisque of Crayfish Creamed Cauliflower Onion Salad Eggplant with Rice and Ham Mayonaise of Celery and Shrimps Pineapple with White Wine. ~ The title displayed on the wrappers is misleading: the atmospheric essays and testimonials – arranged by a literary journalist who contributed to Southern Pacific's promotional magazine Sunset Henry Monroe Mayo 1868-1950 – reveal little regarding the eponymous originator of the recipes or the history of the cuisine that brought her fame. Only pages 47-68 contain recipes by Elizabeth née Elisabetha Kettenring Dutreuil Bégué 1831-1906 the proprietary chef of the beloved restaurant in the Vieux Carré – the second oldest such establishment in New Orleans – located on the Rue de la Levée Decatur Street after 1870 downriver from Jackson Square and across from the French Market. An immigrant from southern Germany she had opened a coffee shop with her husband Louis Dutreuil in 1863. After his death in 1875 she married again and with her second husband Hippolyte Bégué 1842-1917 reopened in the same location with the aim of serving one meal per day – a “second breakfast” beginning at 11:00 a.m. – to accommodate laborers in the meat markets and on the docks who started work at dawn. A fuller history by David Shields is available in his The Culinarians Chicago: University or Chicago Press 2017 pages 270-273. By the mid-1880s trade fairs held in the city were bringing tourists as well and Bégué’s became a destination on its own. Madame Bégué died in 1906. The restaurant continued under management of her daughter but was sold in 1914 to relatives of the family Tujague competitors since 1856 on Decatur Street a few doors away. ~ A shorter tribute with recipes pages 69-74 is accorded another restaurateur presumably Victor Béro d. 1904 an immigrant from Belgium who had presided over Victor's Restaurant since 1873. Mayo appears to confuse the "Monsieur Victor" of his time with the founder and namesake of the establishment Victor Martin 1812-1865; cf. Shields page 136 445. ~ The Sunset Route of the Southern Pacific Company was the southernmost of the transport lines to the West Coast originally contemplated by the series of Pacific Railroad Acts between 1862 and 1866. Of the resulting publicly subsidized corporate consortia that would transform western North America – known collectively as the transcontinental railroads – Southern Pacific was already a mammoth system in 1900 including smaller subsidiaries such as the Texas and New Orleans Railroad and extending across territories that would later become New Mexico and Arizona as well as northwards through Nevada Utah and much of California. The in-house Sunset magazine appears to have been printed close to headquarters in San Francisco but like many publications issued by the transportation industry Mme. Bégué and Her Recipes was printed by Poole Brothers of Chicago who advertised as "railway printers" and also produced tickets brochures and mileage tables. ~ A few pages dog-eared. Very good in publisher's red wrappers decorated in black and white with an image of Madame Chef in kitchen apron. Rare.

réf. 7626San Francisco ca. 1905. 20” x 24” in original oak frame with a title plaque 25.5” x 29.5” overall. Frame manufacturer label of “Sanborn Vail & Co.” of San Francisco on verso. Stamp on verso of “Grover C. Drake District Passenger Agent 937 State Street Santa Barbara California.” CONDITION: Some very small losses at edge of image in lower left corner very good overall. A large and very appealing advertising photograph of Santa Barbara Beach and vicinity issued by the Southern Pacific Railway. This turn of the century photo likely taken on the weekend captures the lively scene at Plaza Del Mar built in the 1890s showing men women and children sitting on benches or strolling about. Many of the women wear white dresses and hats and a few hold parasols. Several boys in bathing suits sit in the sand in the lower right foreground. Los Baños del Mar opened 1901 shown here with picnic tables on the roof appears just to the left of the crowd. At center-left a Japanese tea garden and a sign identifying it as such can be seen on the roof of a building and to its right is a storefront with a sign reading “Boulevard Card Store.” Cabrillo Boulevard with its palm tree-lined promenade stretches along the beach at center right. Hotel Potter appears in the distance on the left and foothills and mountains loom in the background. The phrase “Road of a Thousand Wonders” which is included in the photo’s title was used by the Southern Pacific Co. from the 1900s to at least the 1920s. One of the great American railroad systems the Southern Pacific was established by the “big four” of western railroad building: Collis Huntington Leland Stanford Mark Hopkins and Charles Crocker. After completing the Central Pacific line from California to Utah in 1869 the four partners started the Southern Pacific as a branch line into southern California. It was incorporated in 1884 and the railroads making up the Central Pacific system were leased to the Southern Pacific Co. the following year. The Southern Pacific system grew to serve fifteen states in the West and Southwest with lines reaching the Pacific and Gulf coasts. A striking image of the Santa Barbara Beach scene produced by the Southern Pacific Railroad. REFERENCES: Southern Pacific Railroad at Britannica online. [San Francisco?, ca. 1905.] unknown books
