On the Trail 1939 Lunch Menu

On August 21, the day after yesterday’s menu, whoever collected these menus must have enjoyed lunch from this card. The photograph, which appears to be colorized, features an unlikely scene of Indians standing by their horses and a teepee high in the Rocky Mountains. I can imagine the Blackfeet hunting in that area, but I can’t see them dragging a teepee along with them.

As seems to have been usual for the lodge, the lunch menu offered a greater selection of entrées than the dinner. This one includes bacon and eggs; halibut; hamburg steak; lamb stew; roast ham; chicken salad; and cold salmon. These came with an appetizer, a choice of three soups (compared with two on the dinner menu), veggies and potatoes, a choice of five desserts (same number as the dinner menu), and beverage.
