#29 Chief Sequoyah, Giant Forest
The Chief Sequoyah is 28.5 feet in diameter at the ground, 20.5 feet diameter at chest height, and 228 feet tall. It was named in 1926 by Chief Superintendent John R. White after the Cherokee Indian who created a written language for his nation. The name seems appropriate since it's one of the most rugged and snaggly topped trees, making me think of a feathered Indian headdress.
