The Big Stump Basin was named after the old sequoia snag called Old Adam/Burnt Monarch. [1] It's a common error to assume it was named after the stump of the Mark Twain Tree. I changed the page's reference to the Mark Twain Tree being the namesake of the Big Stump Basin/Grove. Also note that the reference given for the Mark Twain Tree (being the source of the name) was: [2] -- but this website does not appear to actually says that the grove was named after the Mark Twain Tree's stump.
