Another View of the "Grizzly Giant." 



This wonderful tree leans more than 18 feet out of the 

 perpendicular. The strain thus put upon the roots must be 

 tremendous, but they show no sign of yielding. The tree shows signs 

 of age, yet there seems no reason why it should not main- 

 tain its supremacy in the Mariposa Forest for a good 

 many centuries to come. Almost the entire drama 

 of the history of civilized man has been 

 acted since this tree was a seedling.
