Quite an unusual book. Trees with history, right up my alley.

You know, when I was a kid my maternal grandmother had a book of trees from the old west. They were hangmans trees. It was a collection of trees that bad guys had been hanged from throughout the western USA. Some were historical markers and some were just trees at some out of the way crossroads of America. I wish I could see that book again, I remember some of thoses trees were pretty scary looking to a 11 year old.
