Thomas Moran (1837-1926) may be the most famous of the artists whose work is in the Santa Fe Railway collection.

Nine different Santa Fe calendars featured the work of Frederic Mizen, more than any other artist except E.I.

“Canyon Aspens” is the name of the painting by E.

Gerard Delano’s “Navajo Ponies” painting, which was on one of the pocket calendars presented here yesterday, is shown in a little more detail in Santa Fe’s wall calendar.

Ten years ago, I presented a 1950 dinner menu that featured a painting of Taos Pueblo by Frederic Mizen.

We’ve already seen both the 1970 wall calendar and 1970 pocket calendar.

Here is the 1967 pocket calendar that goes with yesterday’s 1967 wall calendar.

Santa Fe’s 1967 wall calendar titles the painting, “Land of the Navajos.”

This painting is by E.I.

The 1963 calendar painting, “Navajo Silversmith,” is the second of six by Martin Hennings.

The painting of the Red Cliffs of New Mexico on Santa Fe’s 1955 calendars is by Willard Frederick Elms (1900-1956).

Like the 1951 pocket calendar, the 1952 edition is more commercial than fine art.

Santa Fe turned to an illustrator who had been working for the railway for more than two decades, Hernando Villa, for the images on the 1949 and 1950 pocket calendars.

Imagination continued to fail the designers of Santa Fe’s 1946 pocket calendar.

The 1943 calendar must have been the first to be designed after Pearl Harbor.

Except for the Santa Fe logo, graphics disappeared from the obverse side of Santa Fe’s pocket calendars during the early 1940s.

The 1937 pocket calendar listed “6 famous trains to California.”

In 1934, Santa Fe began supplementing its wall calendars with pocket calendars.

Harry James Briscoe went to work for the Santa Fe Railway in 1937.

“North Dakota has found an economy that functions for its people so they can have homes, so they can be secure in rearing families and know that 10, 15 or 20 years hence they will have been able to afford for these families many comforts and will have been

“The Pacific Northwest is the goal of large numbers of prospective homeseekers, a situation that still maintains after more than three quarters of a century through which settlement of the area has advanced,” reports this booklet.

“The eastern one-half of the state is a large segment of the Great Plains,” informs this brochure.

This was a much-needed update to and replacement for Northern Pacific’s 1917 publication no. 17, Montana: The Treasure State.

“There is enough agricultural land in the cutover section of northern Minnesota to make 25,000 new farms,” this 1946 booklet quotes someone as saying.

Here’s a 1945 update of the 1941 brochure presented here a couple of days ago.

This booklet describes itself as “a revised edition of Through the Fertile Northwest,” which was presented here a few days ago.

We’ve seen a 1910 booklet for eastern Washington and northern Idaho.

Dated 1937, today’s apple booklet includes 40 recipes that are laid out in an easier-to-read format than the 1915 and 1931 apple recipe booklets presented here, with the ingredients listed first followed by instructions.

This is an updated version of the 1915 apple booklet presented here a few days ago.

The booklet makes the interesting argument that eggs from the Pacific Northwest are “good eggs” because they are grown and sorted to higher standards than eggs from other parts of the country.

The back of this brochure has a map of the Northern Pacific system and about 300 words about each of the states served by the railroad: Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon.

Many railroad map-brochures are more oriented towards potential shippers than passengers.

Here’s the Oregon version of the Montana for the Farmer booklet presented here a couple of days ago.

The collage on the cover of this booklet is reminiscent of the one on the 1917 Montana booklet.

As a companion to, or possibly a replacement for, the 8-1/2″x10-1/2″ 1917 Montana booklet, Northern Pacific issued this 6″x9″ booklet for its booklets aimed at attracting farmers.

While yesterday’s 68-page booklet about Montana is dated October, 1917, this brochure is dated simply 1917.

Not content with the 5″x9″ booklets published in 1910 and 1911, NP increased the size of this 1917 booklet to almost 8-1/2″x11″.

This publication reflects a shift from NP trying to encourage people to settle and farm in the Northwest to promoting the products of those who have done so.

The title page of each of these booklets tries to indicate who the booklet is aimed at using sunny language about the territory being promoted.

“The land of sunny skies, where fortune waits to help the man who tills the soil, trims the tree and trains the vine,” reads the frontispiece to this booklet.

The front cover of this brochure says it describes “The Scenic Highway Through the Land of Fortune.”

This 5″x9″ brochure looks small, but it is 80 pages long, a third of which are filled with about 18,000 words describing the region that is sometimes known as the Inland Empire.

“Opportunities are waiting in Washington to be plucked by the fruit grower, farmer, dairyman, canner, lumberman, logger, fisherman and miner,” says the back of this brochure.

Like the Washington land grant mapsMontana map, this one divides townships into sections and quarter sections and indicates the status of each quarter section.

Today’s map shows that most of northern Idaho was in Indian reservations when the Northern Pacific arrived, so it gained only small portion of that area — roughly 75,000 acres or a little more than 2 percent of the total grant.

These brochures from 1887 and 1893 claim to present maps of Montana’s portion of Northern Pacific’s land grant, but they don’t: all they show is the outside boundaries of where NP had claimed land.

Northern Pacific received the largest land grant of any railroad by far, ultimately claiming nearly 40 million acres between Minnesota and Washington.

The back of this brochure is mostly dedicated to a highly deceptive map that makes it appear the Northern Pacific Railroad had been completed from Duluth to the Puget Sound, including its line across the Cascade Mountains.
