Bear. N. 25 48 W. ; N. Lat. 43°, 15', 04"; W. Long. 71°, 52', 04"; in the town of Warner; 23. 29 miles, altitude 1, 808 feet. Fifteen Kearsarge--M3Lg. Bear. N. 14 38 W. ; N. Lat. 43°, 22', 58"; W. Long. 71°, 51', 28"; in the town of Warner; 31 miles; altitude 2, 943 feet. There seems to be considerable confusion in reference to the name of this mountain, not only in its origin, but in its use. One author says: "It was first called Hezekiah Sargent's Hill, from the name of an early owner; it was... next contracted into Kiah Sarg'nt's, and later, long af- ter Sargent's death, Kiarsarge's, and finally as now. " Another contends that Kearsarge is derived from the In- dian word Kesarzet, meaning, "The proud or selfish, " because of the fact that it stands proudly alone. Still another contends that Pequaw- ket in North Conway is Kearsarge, and Pequawket is Indian for Kearsarge. As a matter of fact, many of the maps of our state show two mountains bear- ing the name of Kearsarge. The whole confusion is undoubtedly due to the hotel interests in the north part of the state.
