Battle of Gettysburg historic tree falls in storm

There were four trees on the Gettysburg battlefield that witnessed the great Civil War battle. A recent storm severely damaged one of them breaking off the top and severely damaged 70 to 80 percent of the tree.

According to a report at the link below the huge honey locust tree on Cemetery Hill stood just 150 feet from the platform on which President Abraham Lincoln delivered his most famous speech.

It is unlikely the National Park Service will be able to save the tree, one of the few remaining "witness trees" to the Battle of Gettysburg.
