DAVENPORT, Wash. - Washingtoner -- The 1790-1795 ship's log kept by British Royal Navy officer Peter Rainier – after whom Mount Rainier in Washington state was named – is the centerpiece lot in a Books & Manuscripts: 1st Editions + More auction slated for Thursday, September 19th, by Grant Zahajko Auctions, online and live in the gallery located at 510 Morgan Street in Davenport.

Admiral Peter Rainier (1741-1808) served in the Royal Navy during the Seven Years' War, the American Revolutionary War and the Napoleonic Wars from 1794 to 1805. He was commander-in-chief of the Navy's East Indies Station, covering all seas between the Cape of Good Hope and the South China Sea. Mount Rainier was named after him by British explorer George Vancouver.

He named Mount Rainer in modern-day Washington after Peter Rainier on May 8, 1792.
