"Cave-in-Rock, twelve miles below, is a much celebrated place, and viewd with interest by all travelers on this river. It was the rendezvous, about the year 1801, of a celebrated outlaw, by the name of Mason, and his comrades, who subsisted by plundering the flatboats and arks, which descended the river with produce, or waylaying the traders, on their return from New Orleans, with the produce of their sales - robbing and murdering them. They continued their nefarious business for several years, until their depredations became so alarming, that the Governor of Mississippi offered a reward of five hundred dollars for Mason's head. Mason was shot, and his head carried to Washington, then the capital of Mississippi, by one of his own band, named Harpe, a notorious outlaw, who had escaped from Kentucky. The following descritpion of the cave is given by a visitor to it:
"Perhaps one of the most beautiful panoramic views which the traveler meets in our extensive country, is afforded by the bold, rocky bluffs, with the intervening valleys, which meet the eye, as one descends the stream. Cedars cover the high woodlands above and below the cave, and civilization, which has extened its rude hand over all surrounding country, has left this romantic spot untouched. The entrance to the cave is nearly semi-circular; and when the river is high, it is on a level with the water. The passage, which is twenty feet high, affords admission into a spacious square apartment, whose dimensions may be fairly stated at about one hundred and twenty-five feet. Above the room is a magnificent chamber, whose natural limestone formations greatly resemble the carvings of a Gothic cathedral. The entrance to this beautiful room is by a chimney, so to speak, in the roof of the first. An opening at one end of the cave leads into a deep vault, extending far into the heart of the rock, and the traveler may amuse himself, by counting the many seconds which elapse, between the time when a stone is cast into the abyss, and the return of its reverberations." 1848 Conclin's New River Guide
