" Some of these were m groups of three, four, and even five, seeming to 
spring from the seeds of one cone. Several of these glorions trees we have, in 
association with our friend, named. The one near the spring we call the 
'Fountain Tree,' as it is used as the source of the refreshment. Two trees, 
measuring 90 and 97 feet in circumference, were named the ' Two Friends/ 
The groups of trees consisted of many of peculiar heaiity and interest. One of 
those^ which measured 100 feet m circumference, was of exceeding gigantic pro- 
portions, and towered up 300 feet ; yet a portion of its top, where it apparently 
was 10 feet in diameter, had been swept off by storms. While we were measur- 
ing this tree, a large eagle came and perched upon it, emblematical of the gran- 
deur of tliis forest as well as that of our country. 
** Near by it stood a smaller tree, that seemed a cliild to it, yet it measured 
47 feet in circumference. Not far from it was a group of four splendid trees, 
250 feet high, which we named the * Four Pillars,' each orer 50 feet in circum- ' 
ference. Two gigantic trees, 75 and 77 feet in circumference, were named 
• Washington ' and * Lafayette ;' these were noble trees. Another group we 
<5aUed 'The Graces,' from their peculiar beauty. One mighty tree that had 
fallen by fire and burned out, into which we walked for a long distance, we 
foimd to be the abode of the grizzly ; there he had made his nest, and it ex- 
cited the nerves to enter so dark an abode. Yet it was a fitting place for a 
r 
grizzly. Another tree, measuring 80 feet, and standing aloof, was caUcd the
