Other: "After being named Castle Mountain by James Hector [in 1858] because of its fortress like appearance, it was renamed Mt. Eisenhower in 1946 in honour of American General Dwight D. Eisenhower, the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces during the final year of World War II. Bowing to public pressure the naming authorities officially changed the name back to Castle Mountain in 1979. However, as a compromise, a prominent feature on the mountain was given the name "Eisenhower Peak." (from www.peakfinder.com, viewed Jan. 29, 2010).
