I drove through it many years ago. I had no idea that it had fallen. And that is was over 2300 years old! Fantastic.

I'm with you, Flutterby! Such gigantic trees are awe-inspiring, especially to us Brits. It's almost worth the journey to the US just to see sequoia trees.

Flutterby,
Did you not read that the tree was fire scarred. They probably just cut away mostly charcoal

Penny, as it says in the details, it was already scarred by fire and it didn’t harm the tree although it would probably still be standing if the hole hadn’t been made bigger but we’ll never know.

I'm glad I saw it in 1966. I thought it was still alive.

Dani, You misunderstood the timeline. The explanation stated that the Scribner brothers were paid $75 in 1881 to enlarge an existing fire scar. So, $75 in 1881 was worth $2,106 in 2021.
