Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
Excerpt from The Washington Historical Quarterly, Vol. 1: October, 1906; Issued Quarterly The geographical names in the United States are derived from two great sources: Indian and European. Among the first ex plorers and settlers the former dominated; with the second gen cration of colonists the European names began to dominate. These early colonists looked to their European homes and per sonages for Plymouth, Boston, Albemarle, St. Mary's, Ft. Chris tina, New Rochelle, New Orleans, St. Louis, Santa Fe; or else from their own languages derived names indicative of local con ditions or feelings: Providence, Philadelphia. \vhen these set tlements themselves began to send OH scions to the upper waters of the Atlantic streams or into the transallegheny country, new names were taken from a variety of sources; from the old Euro pean places and personages, from Greece, Rome, or from classical compositions, e. G. Louisville, Athens, Rome, Oxford, Gallipolis. The Indian names were taken from the local Indian designations, and today stand as monuments to the natives' haunts and homes and as milestones to their westward movement before the coming white man. As the white man came his names told of the fond recollections of his distant home but as he penetrated the wilder ness and the mountains, these recollections dim and finally fade, to be replaced from the new native home in the old Atlantic col onies. Yet the names scattered from the Alleghenies to the Pacific by the constant stream of colonizing immigrants tell of the nomenclatural geneology; the Swede, Italian and German, the Russian, Dutch and Pole, even in our own days repeat the christening of the cavalier and Puritan.

Excerpt from The Washington Historical Quarterly, Vol. 1: October, 1906 In the Pacific Northwest - composed for historical purposes of Oregon, Washington and Idaho - \vashington is the most rep resentative of them all. She has practically as many Indian and American names, and more English, Spanish and French names than either of the other two states. Oregon has a few Spanish names; Idaho has none; both Oregon and Idaho have a few French terms. ()wing to the presence and activity of the Hud son's Bay Company, \vashington has more designations of Eng lish and Indian sources due to the Englishmen than either of the other states. Indian names are well scattered through them all: while both Indian and American, in their proportion in the three states, depend upon the demand for names bv the increasing population.
