NAMING NAMES

mountains and lakes in America? George R.
Stewart. author of famous best sellers like
Storm" and Fire" once made an exhaus-
tive study, which he published in fasci-
mating book called Names on the Land"
The origin of most of the names is obvious:
Indian, English, Dutch, French and Spanish
- but thousands of others spring from folk
lore and humorous impulses.
STEWART LOCATED actual counties
named Seldom Seen. Possum Glory, Chicken
Bristle, Hog Eye and Bug Tussel. There are
III American towns named after Washing
ton and 33 after Franklin And what stories
lie behind, such names as Cape Foulweather,
Deadman's Gulch, Massacre Lake and
Bloody Canyon!
Despite George Stewards painstaking and
amazingly thorough research, he was bonn
barded after his book appeared by outraged
chambers of commerce.
They demanded to know. how he
dared omit such Hourishing and desery-
ing communities as Smitchawitchie,
Herculaneum, OH Be- Joyful, PeekaboO
Pass and countless other weirdly named
hamlets and creeks.
