Historic trees and memories mark the American Revolution
The piece recalls iconic trees linked to the Revolution and early United States history. It describes Washington’s elm at Cambridge, a walnut at Stony Point, a tulip tree at the North Carolina border, Jane McCrea’s tale related to a carved trunk, and the famed pine at Fort Edward. Also noted are Willow lineage from Pope’s willow and a Weeping Willow lineage in England and America, plus Miami village trees and Fox’s Quaker founder legacy. The narrative weaves these arboreal remnants with figures like General Wayne, Washington, and Lord Cornwallis.
