"Russell, and perhaps others, made up names for the rock formations that they found along the railroad route. Although many of them carry the same names today, with a few exceptions, these formations were not named before the railroad." Remarks per Glenn Willumson for the NEA Russell Grant, July 2013 - June 2015.
