Legend of Topeka cottonwood from post to mighty shade tree
In Topeka a large old cottonwood near the state house east wing sparked a debate over its origin. D O McCray said the tree grew from a seed and endured many battles with nature and man. W H Fernald recalls a post buried during construction sprouting into the tree, arguing the origin was the post rather than a seed.
