That Big Tree story: James Murrell suspects it was true Even though the proportions mentioned are Bunyanesque, research indicates that timber in this area then was huge. And according to no less a forest authority than Billy Joe Fudge that even today some quite huge sycamores remain, particularly around the tributaries of Russell Creek. Sometimes, as in this case which had even Mike Watson wondering - the truth is more fantastic than fiction. By James Murrell A most remarkable Adair Countian's grandson I suspect that this story was very much a true one, My Grandfather Deering Fletcher, who spent almost his entire life living and farming in the Chance, Greenbriar Ridge and Breeding areas, once showed me some old photos of him and six other grown men standing on a Chestnut stump in the logging woods of those areas. There was still plenty of room for more on the stump, I only wish that I had the foresight to make copies of the photograph. - James Murrell Comments re article 61164 Big Tree story must be pure gospel if it were in the paper This story was posted on 2013-08-09 06:30:55
