Telegraph Tree

This post oak (quercus stellata) tree is the last remaining support for the telegraph line which connected Little Rock and Fort Smith on what was known as the wire road.

The telegraph line connecting the two cities was installed in the fall of 1861 in the hectic early days of the Civil War.
