Through this engaging biography of Joseph Baker, the man for whom Mt. Baker is named, Wing introduces the reader to the close personal relationships among some of the individuals for whom major points in western Washington geography were named—PUGET Sound, VASHON Island, Mt. RAINIER, Port GARDNER, Port SUSAN, WHIDBEY Island, Point ROBERTS, etc. Also chronicled in the story are the trials, the triumphs, and the tragedies which filled the lives of fighting sea-Captain Joseph Baker and his wife, Elizabeth as they lived through the period of the Napoleonic Wars.
