The story
Longfellow Peak (8,904 feet (2,714 m)) is located in the Livingston Range, Glacier National Park in the U.S. state of Montana. Longfellow Peak is immediately north of Paul Bunyans Cabin, a rock formation that resembles a log cabin from a distance. Lake Evangeline is northeast of the peak and Ruger Lake is to the east. The mountain was named by R. H. Sargent, topographer for the US Geological Survey in the early mapping of Glacier Park, to honor the American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, (1807–1882).
