Paul Bunyan
A mythical American folk hero, Paul Bunyan represents typical frontier tall tales. The fictional exploits of Bunyan in local lumber camps formed an important part of oral tradition in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and the Northwest before they were published by James MacGillvray in 1910 in a story in the Detroit News-Tribune. Between 1914 and 1944, W. B. Laughed produced the series of pamphlets which made Bunyan a national legend.
