History

1870 found the Washburn - Langford - Doane Expedition place in the area now Yellowstone National Park. One of the participants, Truman Everts, got lost near the Yellowstone Lake and wandered 37 days alone through the area. He hit under great hardship to the north by where he was rescued completely exhausted. Henry Dana Washburn, the leader of the expedition, named Mount Everts by Truman Everts, was rescued at the Everts in the belief that the mountain was very close to the spot. In fact, this was a mistake - Everts was much further to the south, has been on the Blacktail Plateau, saved.
