Untitled[edit]

Is it a mountain, or a mountain range? Axeman89 21:47, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

For the record, it is a mountain within the Black Hills range. However, locals often use the term "Mingus Mountains" (note the plural) to refer to the Black Hills Range as a whole.--Nebular110 04:39, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mingus name[edit]

The family name comes from the German "Menges." Major early groups in the United States settled in New York (most moved to Ohio after the American Revolution) and North Carolina. William Mingus who lived near this mountain in Arizona I believe was descended from the North Carolina family. Scott Mingus (talk) 03:34, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
