I saw this posted a few months back. The received wisdom at the the time was that this was a list of US presidents, with President as no. 2 being a typo for Jackson, so the next in line was Hayes.

Jackdaw - do you mean typo for Johnson?

Fair enough, but I would never have got there. It's just that the sequence of presidents runs Lincoln, Jackson, Grant , Hayes so thought that President might have been a mistake. I stand corrected. I am amazed I have lived this long without a proper understanding of the giant Californian Sequoia.

Also I am amazed you have lived this long without a proper understanding of the sequence of US Presidents.
