A student at St. John's College in Annapolis, Md., walks along a plastic
fence erected around the historic Liberty Tree because of the danger of a
large limb loosened by Hurricane Floyd on Wednesday Sept. 22. Some
tree experts have recommended cutting down the 400-year-old tulip poplar
but college officials are determined to keep it. In all there were 13
Liberty Trees, one in each of the original colonies, where the Sons of
Liberty met and plotted the American Revolution against the British. The
Annapolis tree is the only one left.
