Talk:Mother of the Forest

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Falling the tree

The USFS document implies the tree was still standing in 1900, a reference in The New York Times (just read teaser as I don't have an account) suggests that tree was on the ground but still in the forest in 1908 "FIRE REACHES GROVE OF MAMMOTH TREES; Dead "Mother of the Forest," 327 Feet Long and 78 Feet in Circumference" (notice long not tall). Need to clarify with references and update as appropriate. Jeepday (talk) 23:52, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

They let the tree just sit in the forest after they cut it down. Gale stripped the bark, but let the tree to rot.Ask D.N.A.- Peter Napkin (talk) 00:08, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Twofold Reactions

I'm quite fascinated by the idea that there were only two reactions to the exhibition of this tree's bark. One might imagine that a substantial minority, even a majority, would be more indifferent, yet, much to the contrary, all onlookers were either incredulous or appalled. Still, it might behoove one to provide a reference for this anomalous phenomenon, if only to sway those more ignorant than we are. -- MLS —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.221.165.118 (talk) 05:29, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
