Original Sister Act
A canvas type spring time look of the Sisters, known individually as "Faith", "Charity and "Hope". The trio comprises the background of the image, Faith situated at the far left, Charity next in line and Hope which is partly obscured by cloud cover.
Albert Rogers named the peaks in 1883. History has it that Rogers stated, "There had been quite a heavy snowstorm in the night, and when we got up in the morning and looked out of the tent I noticed each of the three peaks had a heavy veil of snow on the north side and I said to the boys, 'Look at the Three Nuns.'
I'm not sure what the boys back then thought but I would be running for the hills (or in this case mountains) if I woke up and saw three Nuns.
The name, "Three Nuns" stuck for a few years. The name, "Three Sisters" first appeared on a map of Dr. George Dawson's in 1886 who probably thought the name was more appropriate - ah, it be the times.
