This "picture" and more like it are in "California Illustrated, including a trip through Yellowstone Park" searchable through books.google.com (which I found thanks to a post by Scott last winter).  I will try to attach, but because of its size, may not be able to. Geeze, my daughters may be right.  I am becoming, or already am, a geyser geek, when I recognize this liliputian picture from memory.

The expedition's leader, Dr. Hayden Ferdinand, ate the boiled egg pointy-end-first, beating his rival, Washburn Henry, who, two weeks later, repeated the same feat but started to eat his egg from the round end. Both of these pioneers were, however, beaten by Pott Johns who, 42 years earlier, cut his boiled egg in half, lengthwise, and mashed it up on his plate prior to eating it. First credit for eating eggs boiled in Old Faithful, however, should be given to the Egg-Eater Tribe, who boiled eggs in the geysers and then peeled them after smashing the shells against their foreheads. The eggs were then served with makh-tomh, which was their equivalent of mayonnaise. Current research into Egg-Eater records and lore does not reveal whether they had a tradition regarding which end of the egg to eat first.
