It is almost round, and although not perpendicular, yet it is so steep that it is with difficulty that one can reach its lofty summit. Many of the early settlers can distinctly remember when the summit of this mount, perhaps an acre in extent, was densely fringed with stunted cedar trees, which caused it to present a weird, romantic picturesque appearance. Like many other mounds in Barber County , this mount ( Flower Pot Mountain ), has a legendary history. What I know concerning this particular mount I will relate. Until what I have to relate transpired I was an unbeliever in ghosts, nor did I believe that the departed spirits ever revisited the earth, yet on this occasion I both saw and heard, What much has changed my skeptic creed.
