AMERICAN FORESTRY 



"HALL OF FAME" FOR TREES 



Beneath 

 this tree, nomi- 

 nated for a place in the 

 Hall of Fame, the first white 

 woman who died in Colorado was buried. 

 Thirty-six people were massacred by the Indians 

 near this tree and fourteen men have been hung on it. 

 Theodore Anderson obtained this copy of the original picture for 



THE OLD MONARCH OF PUEBLO 



the American Forestry Association. The tree stood in the middle 

 of the street in Pueblo and was cut down June 25, 1883. 

 The age was estimated at 380 years. The cir- 

 cumference of this cottonwood was 28 

 feet. A cross piece of the tree is 

 on exhibition in the Min- 

 eral Palace at 

 Pueblo.
