Title: McCarthy Album 09, Photograph 287
Description: Caption: "Fallen Giant - Mariposa Grove," c. 1917. Grace McCarthy poses with two unidentified people next to the Fallen Monarch, the enormous trunk of a fallen Giant Sequoia in Maripose Grove. It is estimated that the tree fell more than 300 years ago, but the natural resistance of Giant Sequoias to rot has preserved the trunk to the present time.
