Mormon Dan Peak is a peak that is quite close to the Soldier Meadows road near where it meets the playa road.
Mormon Dan Spring is to the east and Mormon Dan Canyon is to the south east.
Not to be confused with Mormon Dan Butte, located near Winnemucca.[1].
In 1909, Daniel Moroni LeBaron murdered Thomas New in Winnemucca. LeBaron was known as "Mormon Dan"[2][3] LeBaron was sentenced to life imprisonment and parolled in 1913 or 1914.[4]
The phrase "Mormon Dan" is possibly connected to the Mormon Danites. Wikipedia states: "The Danites were a fraternal organization founded by Latter Day Saint members in June 1838, in the town of Far West in Caldwell County, Missouri. During their period of organization in Missouri, the Danites operated as a vigilante group and took a central role in the events of the 1838 Mormon War. Whether or not the Danites existed after the 1847 arrival of the LDS Church in Utah is still debated."[5]
