For many years (I can’t quickly confirm the number but I believe someone did count the rings) a great oak tree stood at High Street with a commanding view down to the Rivanna River just east of Charlottesville’s Courthouse Square. An attractive spot for an occupying military force. This tree was called the Tarleton Oak https://cvillepedia.org/Tarleton_Oak #cville #Tarleton #USHistory #USPolitics #HumanRights #thread #trees
