Ebenezer William Peyto (/ˈpiːtoʊ/PEE-toh;[2] 14 February 1869 – 23 March 1943) was an English-Canadian pioneer, mountain guide, and early park warden of Banff National Park.
Peyto was born in Welling, Kent in 1869 and immigrated to Canada, settling in Calgary in February 1887.[1][3] He found his way to the Canadian Rocky Mountains where he initially worked as a railway labourer.[4] By the mid-1890s Peyto had built a small log cabin close to the Bow River where he kept his outfitting and trapping gear.[5] Peyto eventually found work as a mountain guide under Tom Wilson, and led early expeditions to attempt to climb Mount Assiniboine, including once with James Outram in the 1890s.[2] He was also chosen to lead Edward Whymper to Vermilion Pass.[6]
Peyto enlisted to serve in Lord Strathcona's Horse Regiment during the Boer War in 1899, and during World War I in Belgium and France with the Twelfth Mounted Regiment and Machine Gun Brigade.[1] He was wounded in his right leg at the Battle of Ypres.[2]
Peyto worked as a park warden in the Banff National Park from 1913 until his retirement in 1937.[1][7]
Peyto married Emily Wood in 1902; she died in 1906.[8] He later married Ethel Wells, a native of Lewes, Sussex, England, in 1921.[8] She died in 1940.[9]
