General Noble, Giant sequoia in Converse Basin Grove, California, US
The General Noble Tree measured 300 feet in height and had a ground circumference of 95 feet before its removal in 1892.
Named after Secretary of the Interior John Willock Noble, the tree was cut into 46 sections and transported by 16 mules to the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition.
Following the exposition, sections of the tree were moved to Washington D.C., where they remained on display for more than forty years.
The Chicago Stump, remaining from the General Noble Tree, is accessible through a flat half-mile trail from Forest Road 13S03.
The transportation of General Noble Tree sections required eleven railroad cars and cost $10,475.87, an exceptional amount for the late nineteenth century.
