Preservationists work to extend life of a rare Revolutionary War ‘witness tree’文物保护人士致力于延长一棵罕见的美国独立战争“见证树”的寿命
Arborists estimate that the tree was about 50 years old on Sept 8, 1781, when British and colonial forces clashed during the Battle of Eutaw Springs.
The sun rises behind the Revolutionary War 'witness tree' in South Carolina.
Standing beneath the spreading branches of a massive live oak, historian Garrison Marcoux tries to imagine what this scarred, struggling tree saw 245 years ago.Did one of the British soldiers encamped at this South Carolina crossroad in the United States near the end of the Revolutionary War sit in the oak's shade to recuperate from the series of attacks in American Major General Nathanael Greene's "war of posts?” Did he or his comrades take cover behind its then slender trunk and fire at the onrushing Continental Army?
Perhaps a soldier took his last breath beneath its canopy, watering its roots with his blood.
Thank you for your report!

太阳从南卡罗来纳州独立战争“见证树”的背后升起。
历史学家加里森·马库斯站在一棵枝繁叶茂的巨大橡树下，试图想象这棵伤痕累累、奄奄一息的树在245年前见证了什么。在美国独立战争末期，驻扎在这个南卡罗来纳州十字路口的英国士兵中，是否有人曾在这棵橡树的树荫下休养生息，以应对美国少将纳撒尼尔·格林发起的“阵地战”中的一系列攻击？他和他的战友是否曾躲在当时还很纤细的树干后面，向冲锋而来的美国大陆军开火？
或许曾有一名士兵在它的树荫下咽下了最后一口气，用自己的鲜血浇灌了它的根系。
