Appearance in literature

Red House Hill is in The Deerslayer novel, but not mentioned directly. Deerslayer was escaping the Hurons along the lake from the Sunken Island and began to move inland after a short distance, near Six Mile Point, and climbed the mountain, now known as Red House Hill. At the top of the hill he hid under a log, and the Hurons passed him thinking he was gone, and went down into Mohican Canyon. He then noticed he was surrounded on three sides and ran down the hill towards the lake, passing through the few Hurons left at Six Mile Point. He then jumped in his canoe and was soon captured by the Hurons.[3]

gollark: Yes, that is a bit weird and not ideal.
gollark: In JS many config files are just JS.
gollark: But the thing is, YAML has rules of some sort, which you have to understand in many weird edge cases, but they're too complicated to memorize or something.
gollark: English is not machine-parseable. Unlike Lojban. Lojban config file WHEN?
