Mount Brown (8,565 feet (2,611 m)) is located in the Lewis Range, Glacier National Park in the U.S. state of Montana.[3]
It was named for William Brown of Chicago, then Solicitor General for the Chicago and Alton Railroad, by some members of his party on a camping and fishing trip to the area around Lake McDonald in 1894. The companions, Charles H. Russell (not the artist) and Frank A. Johnson, climbed this mountain that arose back of their camp, and so named it.[4]
