IN THEIR HONOR

Author's Personal Collection


“Roosevelt has become president and visited the grove and now has one named for himself as president … There are other trees still, as high and as mighty, still unnamed, and if any of our readers ever get to be president visit Fremont Grove near Santa Cruz and get a tree named in their honor.”

Note: President Theodore Roosevelt visited Big Trees Grove on May 11, 1903.    

“Santa Cruz,” Belle Plaine News, [Belle Plaine, Kansas], August 3, 1905.
