Tall Timber Tales
Category: Social Studies (NW)
Copyright/published Year: by Caxton Press
ISBN: 0-87004-094-4
A companion volume to Paul Bunyan Swings his Axe, this
book contains twenty-one more tall tales of the giant logger and
his Blue Ox, Babe. The stories of Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue
Ox come straight from the heart of America. These stories are
told from the rolling woods of Maine to the timberlands of
Washington, from the cypress swamps of the South to the redwoods
of California. Behind the Paul Bunyan legends is the epic of men
of the woods whose vigor and energy were nothing less than
heroic. The adventures of the exploits of these colorful
characters whose deeds in real life are almost incredible. Told
first on winter nights around bunkhouse stoves in the lumber
camps, these tall tales will long remain in legends of America
with wildly imaginative drama of such whopping good lies as
Paul's dredging Puget Sound, straightening out Powder River, and
logging off the Dakotas.
In Tall Timber Tale, Dell J. McCormick is retelling
stories he has heard from his early childhood. In later life he
lived in the lumber camps of the West and heard these stories
from men whose fathers were the prototype of the incredible Paul
himself. He has told these stories much as they were related to
him, with all their childlike simplicity. Reading level 3.5.
