According to our great thinkers in Sacramento, Mt. Whitney is actually in the middle of Yosemite...

That's pretty funny, and google maps still shows the error today.

My September trip just happens to encompass both Yosemite and the Lone Pine area, so I should be able to attempt my assault on the summit of Whitney regardless of where it is.

Before his time, but maybe that explains the famous guy who climbed the wrong peak instead of Whitney.

Who was that? Clarence King?

Google undoubtedly says Martin Luther King.
