	Mount Washington Massachusetts, 1890 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Mount Everett is sometimes called the Taconic Dome, from its elevation and position in this range, and from its peculiar form.
		Dr. Edward Hitchcock says of the former mountain, in his "Geology of Massachusetts:" "Its central part is a somewhat conical, almost naked eminence, except that numerous yellow pines two or three feet high, and whortleberry bushes, have fixed themselves wherever the crevices of the rock afford sufficient soil.
		The town is noted for its whortleberries; and one of the summer diversions of the people, old and young, is the gathering of this delicious berry.

		Washington's stepson, John Parke Custis, underwent inoculation in the spring of 1771 in Baltimore, resulting in a mild case of the disease with only eight pustules on his body.
