History

Named about 1930 by Robert Marshall for a local prospector and exploring companion, Jesse Allen, of whom he wrote, "Jesse, at 51 and despite the loss of his right arm just below the elbow in a mining accident seventeen years before, was one of the outstanding hunters and rifle shots of the region." (1956, p. 56).
