The General Noble Tree, a giant sequoia tree with a ground perimeter of 95 feet (29 m) (measured on a slope), was the second largest tree in the Converse Basin Grove (after the Boole Tree) and it was the largest tree ever cut down.
Five men gathered in the freshly cut trunk of the General Noble, giant sequoia tree, shortly after it was cut down for an exhibition at the Chicago World's Fair. A small bear is with them.
