The Mark Twain Tree – A Beauty Of Nature
This beautiful tree is nicknamed the Mark Twain Tree and is cut from a large sequoia found in the Kings Canyon Park in California. Interestingly, this tree was cut down in 1891, with the stump being cut off and sent worldwide in a bid to educate others that trees this big do exist.
This particular slice was sent to the American Museum of Natural History in New York, where it has been preserved over many years. The rings on this tree stump clearly indicate that this tree did exist as far back as 550 AD.
