Chicago Stump

Remnant of the General Noble Tree

“General Noble Tree”

Giant Sequoia in Converse Basin Grove on Chicago Stump Trail in Giant Sequoia NM, Sequoia NF, Sierra Nevada near Wilsonia, CA

The General Noble Tree was the second largest tree of Converse Basin Grove before being cut for the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition. Although not among the very largest Giant Sequoias, the General Noble Tree was perhaps among the top 30 largest Giant Sequoias before it was cut.
