| Video Discription | The Pearl Harbor tree in Cades Cove Golman Myers lived in Cades Cove with his wife and sons. The Myers family lived in a house on the hill and tended to their own farm. According to his son, Bernard Myers, Golman always kept up with current events on a little battery-powered RCA radio. He knew that the war in Europe was bad, so when he heard President Roosevelt announce the attack on the radio, he knew the United States would be going to war. Golman had two older sons who were of draft age, and knowing this would affect his family motivated him to want to do something to mark the mournful moment. He ended up finding a sapling tree that was about the size of a limb at the time and transplanting it in the family’s front yard. An old rim of an automobile was placed around it to protect it. After he planted it, Golman made one statement: “We will remember this forever.” Golman Myers died of a heart attack in 1945, and his family moved away from Cades Cove completely. Their old family farm grew into a popular tourist destination, and the small little gum tree continued to grow as well. The old rim that was placed around the tree split and grew right into the bark, and Golman’s son, Bernard, estimates the tree to be at least 60 feet tall now. In the mid-1970s, Bernard used a chain to attach a metal tag to the tree that reads, “Golman Myers transplanted this tree Dec. 7 1941.” Now, many visitors in Cades Cove stumble off trail in search of the tree to pay tribute to it! The tree is surrounded by a split rail fence and by many American flags. aZTc9JuS04w |
