mount everettとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Mount Everett at 2,624 ft - or 800 m - is the highest peak in the south Taconic Mountains of Massachusetts. The mountain is known for its expansive views of the southern Taconics and Berkshires; for its fragile ecosystem of old growth pitch pine and scrub oak; and for its rare plant and animal communities. Several trails cross the mountain, including the 2,140 miles (3,440 km) Appalachian Trail. The mountain is named after a 19th Century governor of Massachusetts, Edward Everett. The name was proposed in 1841 by Edward Hitchcock, geologist to the state, in his "Final Report on the Geology of Massachusetts." Hitchcock wrote that at the time of his proposal, the mountain was known as Bald Mountain or Ball Mountain.
