The 65-foot-tall (20 m) tree had a trunk circumference of 24 feet (7.3 m) and a crown spread of 180 feet (55 m).[1] Weakened by Dutch Elm Disease, the tree died from storm damage in 1964.[1] The Logan Elm State Memorial commemorates the site and preserves various associated markers and monuments.[1] According to tradition, Chief Logan of the Mingo tribe delivered a passionate speech at a peace-treaty meeting under this elm in 1774,[1] said to be the most famous speech ever given by a Native American,[citation needed] now known as "Logan's Lament":
