' qt
Forest Week and urging
41 that "where practicable
44i and not in conflict with
go4ti1 law or custom Acpor
Day be observed during-
the course of the week"
'
' should make all Amer-
icans "tree-minded" in
that they shoukl "give thought to the
preservation and wise use of our
'forests" It might be well also to give
'thought to some of the famous trees
which have stood or are still standing
on the soil of the United States and
which have played their part in the
history making of this nation In fact
so important has been the role of
trees in American history that the
American Tree association a few years
ego established a hall of fame for
trees and immediately citizens in all
parts of the country proud of the
historic trees in their communities
nominated them for places in this gal-
lery of honor -
Although nearly every state boasts
of one or more trees which is well
known locally or throughout the
state there are comparatively few
which are or have been objects of
national veneration There are three
however which are probably known
to every American First of these
perhaps is the Washington Elm in
Cambridge Mass under which George
Washington took command of the
Continental army on July 3 1775
The long and honored career of this
tree then more than 350 years old
came to an end in August 1923 when
the whole trunk cracked and fell
while workmen were pulling a dead
branch from it
Another famous tree of the same
species was the Treaty Elm on the
banks of the Delaware river un-
der whose branches William Penn
and the Indians made "the only
treaty between these people and the
Christians that was not ratified by
oath and that was never broken" an
agreement that gave the famous
Quaker title to the land which later
became the great state of Pennsyl-
vania The Treaty Elm was blown
(IOW!) in 1S10 and its age at that
time was estimated to have been 283
years
The third In the trilogy of "most
famous trees" was not an elm but
what schoolboy does not know the
thrilling history of the Charter Oak
which once stood in Hartford Conn
In its hollow trunk it once held the
charter of the colony of Connecticut
where Capt Joseph Wadsworth
placed it when the lights were sud-
denly extinguished on that historic
occasion in 1687 when Sir Edmund
Andros who had been appointed royal
governor of New England demanded
that the assembly surrender to him
this symbol of their liberties as Eng-
lish citizens And when the Charter
Oak was uprooted by a storm In 1856
the w hole state of Connecticut went
Into mourning church bells w ere
tolled and this great oak which was
believed to be between 700 and 1000
years old Is the only tree on record
for which "funeral services" were
ever held
Although the following is by no
means a complete list of all the his-
toric trees in the United States which
have been registered in the tree ball
of fame or otherwise honored by the
Arno icon people (some of them still
