Perhaps not for the same reason as yourself.
I've hunted for many years and, as a still hunter with my muzzle loader, I cannot tell you how many times in roaming the woods, I have come across old stone walls and cellar holes and sometimes not far from that, massive old trees. I love sitting beneath them and looking at their trunks, trying to decide just how old they are. It's like, starting from the base of the trunk and slowly gazing up, that I try to calculate where this tree was in it's growth as different things in American history were happening in the country.
Trees are magnificent sentinels.....and have stood silent and erect since way before America existed.
