“Indian Henry” was a Native American born in 1825. Born with the name So-To-Lick, He was believed to be of Nisqually, Cowlitz or Klickitat origin. He led several climbing parties to Mount Rainier including Philemon Van Trump, James Longmire, Fay Fuller, George Bayley, and A.C. Ewing, and John Muir.
