Truman C. Everts (c. 1816February 16, 1901) was an American government official and explorer who was the first federal tax assessor for the Montana Territory and a member of the 1870 Washburn–Langford–Doane Expedition, which explored the area which later became Yellowstone National Park. He was lost in the wilderness for 37 days during the expedition and a year later wrote about his ordeal for ''Scribner’s Monthly''. Mount Everts in Yellowstone is named after him.
