Mt. Pleasant History by Hilda Madsen Longsdorf

 Kilns were erected by Thomas Christensen (Fouton) on his lot Third West and Second South.

Should you ever vacate the editorial chair for a residence in the country, I hope that you, though a  northern man, will come south to Mt. Pleasant, where secession is never breathed, but where, on the glorious Fourth, we hope to hoist the genuine Stars and Stripes and show that they and the Constitution are still revered in the midst of the mountains.  I wish orders had been just sent for our teams to have freighted the Union out here.  We could have preserved it so well in this salt country.
