Title Cover Image: Origin of Washington geographic names

PULLMAN, a city in the southeastern part of Whitman County, home of the State College of Washington. The place was first named "Three Forks", being at the junction of three small streams. The town adopted the new name in the hope that George M. Pullman, car manufacturer, would endow it, which hope was never realized. (Lou. E. Wenham in Names Mss. Letter 115.)
