Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book focuses on the history of the naming of Mount Rainier. The author provides evidence to support the claim that the mountain's current name, bestowed by George Vancouver in 1792, is the rightful one. The author argues that the name "Tacoma," which was popularized by the Northern Pacific Railroad in the late 19th century, is not a genuine Native American word and was invented by a writer. The book examines the various names that have been proposed for the mountain, and explores the political and cultural forces that have influenced the debate over its name. Ultimately, the book argues that the name "Rainier" is not only historically accurate but also embodies the mountain's unique place in the American landscape.
