I undid a recent edit which provided a citation to the effect that the mountain was named for Abraham Lincoln. I'm not sure I trust the info, even though it was from a federal government publication. My edit summary was slightly incorrect — the mountain is in the town of Franconia, not Lincoln (which is about one mile to the south) — but the fact that the nearby town was named "Lincoln" well before the Lincoln presidency, and the fact that there is a Lincoln Brook coming off the mountain and flowing into the town, makes me doubt the accuracy of the published info. The fact that it is simply one name in a long list doesn't help, either. I hope there is a source with a fuller description of the mountain's name origin somewhere. --Ken Gallager (talk) 12:19, 22 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
