Following is a link to one of the better histories of Mt Rainier, from the first sightings to the first names given the mountain, to the first recorded crossing of Naches Pass. The first settlements (NW Fur company), to the establishment of Fort Nisqually and much more. Grab a cup o joe and spend some time going through this rich review of the area!
