On Wikipedia

Pershing, also known as General Pershing, is a giant sequoia located within the Giant Forest Grove of Sequoia National Park, California. In 1926, Sequoia National Park superintendent Colonel John R. White dedicated the tree to honor General John J. Pershing, commander of the American Expeditionary Forces during World War I. It is the 19th largest giant sequoia in the world, and could be considered the 18th largest depending on how badly Ishi Giant atrophied during the Rough Fire in 2015.Pershing is located 350 ft (110 m) east-northeast of Column. Pershing features a large triangular burn scar on its north face and a much smaller one on its west face.
