Mount Sniktau : ウィキペディア英語版 | Mount Sniktau
Mount Sniktau is a high mountain summit in the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains of North America. The thirteener is located in Arapaho National Forest, northeast (bearing 48°) of Loveland Pass in Clear Creek County, Colorado, United States.〔〔〔 ==Name== The name "Sniktau" refers to the pen name of Edwin H. N. Patterson, a journalist in the Clear Creek County area during the 1860s. Patterson was a close friend of the famous poet, Edgar Allan Poe, and the two men are known to have exchanged letters in the 1840s. Patterson claimed to have received the nickname "Sniktau" from Native Americans, although it may simply have been adopted from a fellow journalist named W. F. Watkins, who had reversed the letters of his own name to create the pen name "Sniktaw."〔 Patterson had moved to Colorado from his native Oquawka, Illinois, in 1875 to become editor of the ''Colorado Miner'', a newspaper printed in Georgetown, roughly 15 miles from the mountain. He is buried in Alvarado Cemetery, located near Georgetown.〔
