Bingley Peak

The English town of Bingley was home to Dr. Walter B. Cheadle, who with William Wentworth Fitzwilliam (Viscount Milton) crossed the Yellowhead Pass in 1863. While camped on the shore of Buffalo-dung Lake (Yellowhead Lake), their Iroquois guide assured the travelers that two nearby mountains “should be known from that time forth as Le montaigne de Milord and Montaigne de Docteur. We, however,” wrote Cheadle, “took the liberty of naming them Mount Fitzwilliam and Mount Bingley.”
