Taken: Circa 1937
Caption: The Discovery Stump and Log - 19 Feet High, Cut in 1853
Additional Description: Description on postcard:
In 1853 five men worked 15 days to cut this tree just to see it fall. While they had gone to Averys to get whiskey to celebrate, the tree fell.
Being impossible to get a saw long enough for this job, they had to bore 3 inch holes from outside to center. Auger marks show in the picture.
