"I do not know in whose brain originated the idea of planting our trees, but it was certainly a man of '58. But what I do know, is that I first heard it from Chandler and Quinby, who, together, came to my room with the plan. And a part of it was to name the 'Tappan Oak,' and make it the center of the grove."
