1874M7548Montreal: 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.<br>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:<br><br>"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".<br><br>"Mr. Smith" is believed to be Donald A. Smith a major partner in the yet-to-be incorporated Canadian Pacific Railway Company in 1881. <br><br>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.

185275869Oregon City: Surveyor General's Office 1852. First edition. 15 3/4 x 26 inches. Printed in various shades of green blue red and black. Some light toning long fold-lines else a very good map of a vastly underpopulated Territory.The map above shows the surveyed portion of the Oregon Territory as of October 21 1852. It was prepared by John B. Preston first surveyor general of Oregon."With the establishment of the Oregon Territory on August 14 1848 all grants of claims of land in the territory were nullified. It was not until the passage of the Donation Land Act on September 27 1850 that new provisions were made for acquiring unclaimed land to be based upon government surveys. John B. Preston was appointed first surveyor general of Oregon where he arrived on April 20 1851. On June 7 1851 Preston drove the “starting stake†for the base surveys of the territory at what is today known as the Willamette Stone. The east-west Willamette Base Line and the north-south Willamette Meridian still define surveying and legal land descriptions in Oregon and Washington state.Preston and his crew were able to carry out their surveying and mapping to the extent depicted on this map in just over one year. Each square of the grid termed a section is one mile on each side and includes 640 acres of land—the maximum acreage allowed for a married couple making a claim under the Donation Land Act; a single man could claim up to 320 acres. Thirty-six sections make up a township.The surveyors took careful note of waterways hills prairies and roads. Some recognizable places are already viable communities such as Salem and Lafayette; other communities of the period—Champoeg Fairfield Cincinnati for example—have vanished as meaningful places. All three of those were river landings that were affected by floods channel changes and the eventual disappearance of river transportation. Notably absent from the map is Mission Bottom or Mission Landing the by-then-abandoned site of the Methodist mission of the 1830s and St. Paul on French Prairie. The roads that are mapped include ancient routes such as the California-Oregon Trail which had sections that paralleled both sides of the valley as well as newer roads established in recent years. The roads converging on Salem from the outlying farming districts for instance reflect its recent importance as a mill town powered by the waters of Mill Creek Surveyor General's Office unknown

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.

190074021Port Townsend WA and others: N.p. ca. 1900. Original quarto album of full morocco measuring 9 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches. There are 24 think leaves mounted on stubs with each leaf bearing four windows for photographs measuring 3 7/8 x 2 7/8 inches. Most of the leaves in the rear bear no photographs but in the front there are 64 inserted silver gelatin photographs. Of these 36 bear images of people places and activities in the Puget Sound/Port Townsend area The remainder are quotidian shots of England. A chief concern in this album is mining and likely they brought in some British miners which would explain the shots of England. No surnames are given so it is all a bit of a mystery but the pictures speak for themselves. Finding a mining album of the Northwest is a rather rare occasion.The photographs of interest are; Log Cabin; Ranch House with two women and an infant in front; the nanny appears to be a Native American; Ore Coming out of a Tunnel; Harry Smith Cabin with two gents relaxing on the front porch; Cook House a mess tent with many miners taking their meal; Bunk homes for the workers; Blacksmith shop and Ore Dump with two men pushing a cart of trailings down the hill; Swamp grass three foot high; Dumping ore from car; Road Gang at Dinner; Railroad Station near mountains; Road Makers to the Mine a posed group shot of 20 men; Sunset near Port Townsend; Mates at the Boiler Makers; A river near our mine faded. The rest are uncaptioned but we can see the same camp and people in the winter snow; 2 shots of a sailing vessel trying to come up the Columbia ; and seven photographs of Native Americans unposed. One of them seems to be wearing a mask or bag over his head. A fascinating album of a rough and tumble time in the Pacific Northwest. N.p. unknown
