Note 54 — Chapter VIII

Mount Hood (11,225 feet), of the Cascade Range, lies south of the Columbia in Wasco County, Oregon. It was seen (October 29, 1792) by Lieutenant Broughton, who “honoured it with Lord Hood’s name; its appearance was magnificent; and it was clothed in snow from its summit as low down as the high land, by which it was intercepted, permitted it to be visible.” Lord Hood, later Lord Bridport, was an English admiral. Lewis and Clark first called this the “Falls or Timm Mountain;” later, they recognized its identity with Broughton’s Mount Hood. Franchère’s “Mount Washington” is in reality Mount Jefferson.—Ed.
