US State Highpointing: Driskill Mountain, highest point in Louisiana.

Driskill Mountain is the highest mountain in Louisiana, with an elevation of 535 feet. A large pile of rocks marks the high point. It is the 48th in order of height of the 50 US States.
James Christopher 'Grancer' Driskill, the man for whom Driskill Mountain was named, was born in Georgia, in 1817. He settled the farm and timber land around the mountain in the 1830s after moving from Macon, Georgia. Mr. Driskill ended up owning 960 acres in the area. In 1874, he donated land for what is now the Mount Zion Presbyterian Church and the Driskill Memorial Cemetery. Many of Driskill's descendants still live near Driskill Mountain.
Jimmie Davis and his band played You Are My Sunshine at the summit. Davis became governor of Louisiana after the performance and the song became the state song of Louisiana.
