  6. The Birth of Paul BunYan http://americanfolklore.net/folklore/2010/07/the_birth_of_paul_bunyan.htm l • Now I hear tell that Paul Bunyan was born in Bangor, Maine. It took five giant storks to deliver Paul to his parents. His first bed was a lumber wagon pulled by a team of horses. His father had to drive the wagon up to the top of Maine and back whenever he wanted to rock the baby to sleep. • As a newborn, Paul Bunyan could hollar so loud he scared all the fish out of the rivers and streams. All the local frogs started wearing earmuffs so they wouldn't go deaf when Paul screamed for his breakfast……….

Paul Bunyan Tames the Whistling River http://americanfolklore.net/folklore/2010/07/paul_bunyan_tames_the_whistlin.htm l • The Whistling River - so named because twice a day, it reared up to a height of two hundred feet and let loose a whistle that could be heard for over six hundred miles - was the most ornery river in the U.S. of A. It took a fiendish delight in plaguing the life out of the loggers who worked it. It would tie their logs into knots, flip men into the water then toss them back out onto the banks, and break apart whole rafts of logs as soon as the loggers put them together. ……

  8. Paul Bunyan and the Frozen Flames http://americanfolklore.net/folklore/2010/07/paul_bunyan_and_the_frozen_fla.html From Michigan Tall Tales • One winter, shortly after Paul Bunyan dug Lake Michigan as a drinking hole for his blue ox, Babe, he decided to camp out in the Upper Peninsula. It was so cold in that there logging camp, that one evening, the temperature dropped to 68 degrees below zero. Each degree in the camp thermometer measured sixteen inches long and the flames in the lanterns froze solid. No one, not even Paul Bunyan, could blow them out. …

  9. Paul Bunyan and the Log Jam http://americanfolklore.net/folklore/2010/07/paul_bunyan_and_the_log_jam.htm l Wisconsin, Tall Tales • One spring day, the loggers on the Wisconsin River discovered a huge log jam, the biggest they'd ever seen. The logs were piled about two hundred feet high and the jam went upriver for a mile or more. Those loggers chopped and hauled at the jam, but it wouldn't budge an inch. So they called for Paul Bunyan to give them a hand…..

  10. Paul Bunyan's Kitchen http://americanfolklore.net/folklore/2010/07/paul_bunyans_kitchen.html Tall Tales • One winter, Paul Bunyan came to log along the Little Gimlet in Oregon. Ask any old timer who was logging that winter, and they'll tell you I ain't lying when I say his kitchen covered about ten miles of territory. ….

  11. Round River Drive http://americanfolklore.net/folklore/2010/07/round_river_drive.html Wisconsin, Tall Tales • Well now Paul Bunyan scouted around the north woods of Wisconsin for quite a while afore he found the perfect spot for his winter lumber camp. It was right next to a fast river, and Paul figured they could pile the logs up right next to it and come spring time it would be mighty easy to tumble the logs into the river and float ‘em down to the mill. ….
