".... I have suggested the names Whitesaddle and Blackhorn for the two peaks which are prominently visible down the Homathko valley from the automobile road passing Tatla Lake. The names seem appropriate for this cattle ranching country because of the appearance of the peaks themselves. The right hand peak of the two, a dark rock dome, has a white glacier flowing from the summit down the face of the peak toward the observer which reminded me at once of a white saddle. The left hand peak, a sharper black rock summit might easily be imagined to look like a saddle horn or black horn. I first saw these peaks in September 1931 and again in July and August 1932. The local men of Tatla Lake, including Robert Graham and Pete McCormack, knew no names for these two peaks and the two names Whitesaddle and Blackhorn were apparently agreeable to them. Graham has lived at Tatla Lake I understand for 25 years or more." (17 April 1933 letter & photos from H.S.Hall Jr, Cambridge, MA, file M.1.27)
