SINCE 1986, THE US GOVERNMENT has officially called North America’s tallest mountain — Mount McKinley — after a president who never even set foot upon Alaskan soil. For decades a quiet fight between Alaska’s governors, federal representatives, and those of Ohio has been taking place in Washington, DC.
Nearly every year Alaska would file a bill to change the mountain back to it ancient native Alaskan name, Denali, and every year Ohio would block the legislation in order to keep the Ohio-born President William McKinley ensconced in mountainous fame.
