Yesterday, I wrote that most of the Forty-Niner menu covers used images taken from the heart of Southern Pacific territory, so of course today would be the exception: an engraving of Colonel Fremont speaking with Indians at Fort Laramie, Wyoming. The signature on this picture is difficult to read, and I must not be the only one who thinks so as I can find several copies of it on the web yet none identify the artist. The earliest use I can find of the engraving is from an 1899 book on the history of the United States, and it doesn’t identify the artist either.

Update: Thanks to Streamliner Memories reader Chon Clayton for identifying the artist: the ink drawing was by George de Forest Brush (1855-1941). Born in Tennessee, Brush studied art in New York and Paris, then traveled to Wyoming where he made many drawings of Indians, some of which he later turned into paintings.

This dinner menu offered fresh (but unspecified) fish, lamb casserole, calf’s sweetbreads, chicken and ham, and sirloin steak. The steak dinner was $1.75, or about $32.50 in today’s dollars. This menu and the ones shown in the previous days came in the above envelope, which has the Forty-Niner logo in the upper left corner. I know of at least one other Forty-Niner menu featuring an engraving of miners gambling at a faro table.
