Arthur Harmon Marshall[1] was the first person to successfully reach the highest point in every U.S. state. He began his quest in 1919 by climbing Mount Rainier in Washington and completed his goal in July 1936 by visiting Hoosier Hill in Indiana. Being a lifelong bachelor, Marshall had ample time to travel, often taking trains to the nearest station and hiring drivers to reach each highpoint.
After achieving his initial goal, Marshall revisited Arkansas to summit an additional highpoint of equal elevation, traversing through woods to reach it. Marshall died by suicide on February 9, 1951, at the age of 65.[2]
