"Hamburger" (illegible) in Butte Daily Miner (1886)

[Douglas G. Wilson]

>I thought the word was "hamburger eels," but I just can't read it.

Reckon it's just "Hamburger eels", sure enough. Searching N'archive
for <<"hamburger eels">> turns up other, more legible examples. Eels
from Hamburg, or maybe eels in the Hamburg style?
