1900réf. 10228San 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. ~ Internally clean and sound; in publisher's red wrappers decorated in black and white with an image of Madame Chef in kitchen apron. Wrappers with some rubbing and two small chips to the spine Near very good. Rare. OCLC locates thirteen copies; Uhler 28; New Orleans Culinary History Group page 13; not in Bitting Brown or Cagle.

réf. 5510Chicago: Cameron Amberg & Co. Printers ca. 1880. Illustrated chromolithographic broadside with map 21.25” x 13.125” plus margins inset map measuring 4.5” x 5.875” illus. measuring 3.25” x 12.5”. CONDITION: Very good margin chipped at upper right corner a few minor stains. A rare and striking broadside issued by the Chicago Rock Island & Pacific Railway advertising the Rock Island through-express route and promoting the railroad’s numerous destinations connections and amenities. Featuring the eye-catching mix of typefaces and colors that characterized railroad advertising in this era this attractive broadside promotes the numerous midwestern stops and destinations accessible via the Chicago Rock Island & Pacific R’y. At this time two through-express trains for Kansas and Nebraska ran daily in connection with the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe and Union Pacific railroads. As noted here meals were served in palace dining cars for seventy-five cents each and 150 pounds of baggage were allowed on each full ticket and seventy-five pounds on each half ticket free. The line’s various destinations included Iowa City Council Bluffs Denver Salt Lake City and San Francisco as well as “all points in Kansas Nebraska Colorado Arizona New Mexico Utah Montana and California.” Showing the Rock Island R.R. in bold the inset map spans from Chicago and Lake Michigan in the east to Omaha and Council Bluffs in the west and reaches from St. Paul in the north to St. Louis and Kansas City in the south—with Lake Michigan lying in the upper-right corner. One axis of the line extends from Milwaukee and Racine Wisconsin to Leavenworth Kansas and another stretches from Chicago to Omaha. Various spurs connect to both. The lower section of the broadside features a marvelously detailed illustration of the interior of a palace dining car showing numerous fashionably dressed passengers seated and dining among African American waiters who are shown in the small kitchen and serving food. In the far-right end of the train men are depicted in drawing rooms—reading newspapers and smoking—and various railway operators and ticket-men appear at the ends of the car. Also included is a table of connections with various railroads that could be made in “Union depots.” Through-tickets via this route could be found on sale at all coupon offices in the U.S. and Canada. Those seeking additional information folders maps and times-tables are encouraged to contact any of the ten agents and managers of the Rock Island R.R. listed at the bottom who were based in New York Toronto Philadelphia Chicago etc. Established in 1847 as the Rock Island & LaSalle R.R. the company was reincorporated in 1851 as the Chicago & Rock Island R.R. Co.—its rails during this period reaching to Morris Illinois and later Ottawa. After acquiring the Mississippi & Missouri R.R. in 1866 the company was renamed Chicago Rock Island & Pacific R.R. Co. Expanding between 1873 and 1882 the company built more branch lines that reached into Iowa as well as Kansas City. In 1880 the firm was reorganized under the name Chicago Rock Island and Pacific R’y Co. and by 1883 extended nearly to the southern boundary of Kansas. After Congress granted passage across Indian Territory in 1887 the Rock Island R.R. began developing through Texas to Galveston as well as New Mexico Territory. During the 1920s the railroad enjoyed considerable success. In 1926 the company began constructing a freight line between Amarillo Texas and Liberal Kansas which was finished in 1929 and served to make accessible a country of rich grain. While the railroad industry continued fairly steadily through 1930 between 1931 and 1935 the Depression took a toll on the Rock Island R.R. and went into decline. The company ceased operation in 1980. OCLC records just one copy held at Yale. REFERENCES: “Chicago Rock Island and Pacific Railway Records” at Kansas Historical Society online.

Organized by the War department under the direction of Jefferson Davis who was Secretary of War at that time a collection of volumes was produced in the quest for the best route for a railroad to the West. Jefferson Davis wrote part of the introduction to this series and outlines the goals of the project. This report is on routes explored in Northern California and Oregon. Specifically the expedition was to look for a railroad route crossing the Sierra Nevada near the source of the Carson River and to see if it was feasible to connect the Sacramento valley with the Oregon Territory. Most of the color plates in this volume are located in the first three parts of the publication which is focused on topography geology and botanical subjects. This volume includes 23 color lithographs of scenery and botanical subjects 2 hand colored plates of birds and 24 steel engraved plates. Wagner-Camp 264a. Beverly Tucker, unknown
