#January 6, 1844
#OTD #JohnFremont encountered the #Cottonwood #Tree (Populus fremontii) at Pyramid Lake in Nevada.

Cottonwoods are the fastest-growing #Trees in North America w/ weak wood & a #Star-shaped #Pith. Female trees make the fluffy star-shaped #Seeds that collect in your #Garden & #Garage in June.

Arapaho & Cheyenne stories say the tree held the #Stars of the universe in their #Branches until one #Windy #Spring when they released them to the night sky.
