General Noble Tree, 1892

Lumberjacks link hands across the base of the General Noble tree before felling it. With a ground perimeter of 95 feet (measured on a slope), it was the largest tree ever cut down, and about 3,000 years old at the time. The General Noble Tree was cut down in 1892 to create an exhibit for the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition held in Chicago. The General Noble Tree was a Giant Sequoia tree from the Giant Sequoia National Monument of the Sierra Nevada, in Fresno County, California. The remains of the General Noble Tree are known as the Chicago Stump, which can be seen in the Converse Basin Grove. No photographer credited.
