| Summary | "Paul Bunyan and His Loggers" by Otis T. Howd and Cloice R. Howd is a collection of folk tales that celebrate the legendary figure of Paul Bunyan, an archetypal lumberjack, and his experiences in the logging industry during the late 19th century. The book captures the essence of North American logging culture, focusing primarily on the stories that constructed the myth around Bunyan and his larger-than-life exploits alongside his faithful ox, Babe. It reflects themes of exaggerated feats, camaraderie among loggers, and the lifestyle of those who worked in the great forests. The narratives within the book range from humorous to adventurous, illustrating Bunyan's legendary strength and the absurdly grand scale of the logging industry. Various characters, such as Brimstone Bill and Johnny Inkslinger, support the tales of Bunyan's incredible abilities—from logging vast areas of land to engineering natural features like lakes and rivers. The stories not only entertain but also offer insights into the culture of loggers, their hardships, and their pride in skilled craftsmanship. Ultimately, the tales serve as a testament to the mythical qualities attributed to loggers and the transformed landscape of the American wilderness, revealing both the glory and the challenges of a bygone era.
