Less than the length of a football field up the side of the mountain behind my growing up house is the Sugar Loaf. It is the top of the mountain. Uncle Walter once went there to get sassafras roots for what reason I don’t remember. This was long before they built the back bedroom and they still had a back porch. I have been told that up there, there was also an Indian Mound.
My friends and relatives have suggested I write about it. I can’t do it. I never went to the top of the mountain. I never saw the Sugar Loaf. I never saw the Indian Mound.
So help me out here somebody.

I have an old photo of the Baker home that was taken about 1900 and in the far background you can see the top of Sugar Loaf. It was completely treeless. I have been told by my father that his Dad told him it was planted in corn when he was a kid. I think this continued up into the early 1920's. I am not sure who put the corn in. I understand the Indian Mound was destroyed several years ago.
