Tree ID please

Hello, I went for a walk in the back 40 yesterday and came across two trees I want to learn the names of. Here's the first one. The trunk is probably three feet wide and very tall.

American beech and the second picture in the back ground is white ash. Both excellent firewood when dry.

There's something wrong with that beech. It's not lying on the ground being processed.

Do both photos show the same tree? The first picture of a trunk looks like American Beech. The leaves in the photo look like they could be American Beech too.

Both photos here are the same tree. Took a downhill photo of the trunk then I jumped up and grabbed a branch to photo the leaves. There's about a 40 degree grade here that's not very apparent in the photo.

I put the other tree's photos in a separate post.

Agreed. It does make it hard. I've got a particular mature shagbark hickory with a base 3' wide that will probably come down in my lifetime. I'm looking forward to the day it's health declines and I drop that tree. In the mean time I admire and wonder at it every time I walk under it.
