Editing Mount Magazine (section)

==Etymology==
According to English botanist [[Thomas Nuttall]], writing in 1819, French hunters named the mountain "Magazine" or "Barn" (French {{lang|fr|[[wikt:magasin#French|magasin]]}}) because of its "peculiar form".<ref>{{cite book|last=Nuttall|first=Thomas|author-link=Thomas Nuttall|date=1821|title=A Journal of Travels Into the Arkansas Territory: During the Year 1819.

However, today some scholars believe Nuttall may have been writing about nearby [[Mount Nebo (Arkansas)|Mount Nebo]], and what is today called Mount Magazine was labeled "Castete Mt" on Nuttall's maps.<ref>{{cite web|title=Mount Magazine|url=https://encyclopediaofarkansas.net/entries/Mount-Magazine-6908/|website=[[Encyclopedia of Arkansas]]|first=Berry|last=Cody Lynn|date=26 Feb 2020|accessdate=6 Nov 2021|publisher=[[Central Arkansas Library System]]|archive-date=7 November 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211107002323/https://encyclopediaofarkansas.net/entries/Mount-Magazine-6908/|url-status=live}}</ref>
