Thread Name: BS: Who Named Rocky Mountains? When?
Subject: BS: Who Named Rocky Mountains? When?
I'm doing research and although I'm finding a lot of information I have not seen an answer to this: Who first labeled the Rocky Mountains? Did they ever have a different name?
The Rockies are a very long mountain range and I know that various segments have regional names. I'm interested mostly in the northern tier, coming from Minnesota heading into Montana and Idaho.
