Description
Anna Mills, a 40-year resident of Visalia who died in 1921, was one of the first women to climb Mt. Whitney, the highest mountain in the continental U.S. Another Sierra peak was named in her honor in 1985 by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names in honor of her achievement. In 1878, Mills climbed Mt. Whitney as a 24-year-old single woman with three other women and four men. Mills later married Robert Johnston, a marble cutter of Visalia. Mills, at right in the photo, is shown with her friend, Emma Gilliam, in 1883.
