The excerpt tells young readers about the amazing giant sequoia trees that grow in California.
Explanation:
One of these Sequoia kings come to the town in all God-like majesty to be stinkingly seen and allowed to plead its own cause.
One of the stumps was cut down forty-seven years ago by a king to make a dancing floor. Another famous tree in the grove that was a hundred feet tall was skinned down and the bark was sent to London.
The Tuolumne and Merced groves, the Dinky Creek grove and the Sequoia National Park were partly protected by the Federal Government.
