Richardson, Virginia Beckley

Through her oral interview and the materials she provided, Virginia Beckley Richardson
gives us a unique and fascinating look at both a pioneer family of Las Vegas and the early
activities of the Service League, the forerunner of the Junior League of Las Vegas. Her personal
recollections are an insight into life in the city's early years, and the biography of her father

Bohn-Bettoni Menu Collection

Identifier

MS-00793

Abstract

The Bohn-Bettoni Menu Collection contains menus dating from 1854 to 1939 from restaurants around the world that were collected by Henry J. Bohn, including a large number of international menus gathered into a single scrapbook by Henri Bettoni, manager of the Globe Restaurant in London, England. The collection contains menus from hotel restaurants located primarily on the eastern coast of the United States, but also contains menus from Western states such as Montana, Colorado, Washington, and California. Stretching well in the first three decades of the 20th century, the menus in the Bohn-Bettoni collection showcase the evolving nature of American and European cuisine.
