P. C. Johnson
Killed by Indians
At Johnson Peak
1859
This man was burned to the stake on top of Johnson Peak just south of
Iredell. He had a small son as the story goes who his and got away. The
boy escaped and went to Meridian during the night. I climbed to the top of
this peak 20 years ago there are two very large at least 4-6 foot long
boulders on top of it my Dad had told me that as a young boy he could lay
on those flat rocks binoculars and see his dad milking 6 miles away. I'm
sure some of the old timers down there could give you a better story than I
can.
