These are books
about America,

its history, its geography
and its heroes.

But it takes a big book like this one
to tell the story of American folklore,

the tall tales about men doing
big things in a big country.

Men like Cap'n Stormalong,

Joe Magarac,

John Henry,

Pecos Bill

and the fellow who towers
above them all, Paul Bunyan.

# North America was a great big land

# With a great big job to be done

# Ajob that needed a great big man

# Paul Bunyan was the one

- # Hey, Paul

# He's 63 axe handles high

# With his feet on the ground
and his head in the sky

My name is Cal McNab,
lumberjack by trade.

I reckon I was the first person
in our part of the country

to see Paul Bunyan.

Our town was cut right out of
the big timber on the coast of Maine.

I should've known something
was gonna happen that night.

A sou'easter come up
and the wind howled so.

I thought it was gonna blow our town
right off the map.

Come daylight, I took a look to see
what was left of the place.

I spotted an odd-lookin' craft
on the beach.

That's where the howling
was comin' from.

Hey, Ma, what in the world
do you suppose that is?

The howlin' roused the whole town

and everybody rushed down
to investigate.

I never saw anything like it.

Looks like a big cradle.

Now, be careful, Cal.

Well, I'll be horn swallowed.

A baby!
And it's a whopper!

The whole town adopted him

and named him Paul Bunyan.

Everybody pitched in
to supply his needs.

They held sewing bees and
knitting circles to make his clothes.

Feedin' him wasn't
any small job, either.

I led the singin'
to put him to sleep at night.

One, two...

- # Good night
- # Sleep tight

- # Paul Bunyan
- # Paul Bunyan

# You're only ten axe handles high

# But you'll get bigger by and by

- # Good night
- Shhh.

- # Paul Bunyan
- # Paul Bunyan #

It wasn't long before Paul
was big enough to go to school.

He was a bright boy
and never tardy.

Good morning, Paul.

Good morning, children.
Now everyone be seated.

Will the first pupil
to work the sum of five plus two

rise and show the answer?

Eeek!

That is correct, Paul,

but for heaven's sake,
don't raise the roof!

School's out. Yeah!

# The boys would head
for the swimming hole

# Just as soon
as the studies had ceased

Come on!

# And though young Paul was
sometimes last he surely never was least

- # Hey, Paul
- Here he comes!

# Paul Bunyan

# Though he loved to swim
What a time he had

# What a problem,
me, oh, my

# When his front was in the water
Oh, his back was high and dry

How about a dive, Paul?

- # Hey, Paul
- # Hey, Paul

- # Paul Bunyan
- # Paul Bunyan #

Christmas was
a big event in our town.

We had our tree in the town square,
on account of Paul.

I handed out the presents.

You kids ready?

Well, here's something for Johnny.

For Susan.

And for Paul...

...here's a gift
from the whole town,

a double-bladed axe.

Paul took to cuttin' timber
like a duck takes to water.

Before long our sawmills
had enough timber

to last a lifetime.

That opened plenty of new farmland.

Our town grew so fast
it got to crowding Paul.

So one morning
we weren't too surprised

to find a note in the square.

"And plenty of room.
Love, Paul.

P.S. I'll write soon."

We're gonna miss that boy.

I am Chris Crosshaul,

straw boss of a logging crew
in the Middle West.

I will never forget the first time
I saw Paul Bunyan.

I was topping trees one morning.

I looked up and there stood
the biggest man I ever saw.

# With my double-blade axe
and my hobnail boots

# I go where the timber's tall

# When there's work to be done
don't mess around

# Just sing right out for Paul

- # Hey, Paul
- # I'm comin', boys

- # Paul Bunyan
- # Paul Bunyan

# He's 63 axe handles high

# With his feet on the ground
and his head in the sky

- # Hey, Paul
- # Hey, Paul

- # Paul Bunyan
- # Paul Bunyan

# Well, he picked up his axe

# And he chopped a tree clean down
with his forward swing

# Got him another
when his axe swung back

# That timber-cutting thing

# He kept on a-choppin'
the livelong day

# And then, when it was night

# He walked back over the stumps
he'd cut and stomped them out of sight

- # Thanks, Paul
- # Wasn't nothin'

- # Paul Bunyan
- # Paul Bunyan #

Well, sir,
Paul cleared that country so quick

farmers had their crops
in the first week.

So, Paul headed west
for the big woods and more room.

He hadn't gone far

when he ran into the worst blizzard
this country ever saw.

It was so cold
even the snow was blue.

When Paul built a fire
the flames froze.

While he was building a second fire
to melt the first one,

he heard a low moo.

He looked all around,

and there, under a fog bank
he found a big ox,

frozen just as blue as the snow.

Now, that ox was mighty grateful
for being rescued.

They hit it right off
and became real pals.

Paul named him Babe.

The two of them headed west,

but the storm got worse
and they got so lost.

Well, sir, they left
lots of tracks behind them.

Come spring those tracks
filled with water.

This area became known
as the land of 10,000 lakes.

With winter over,
Paul and Babe went right to work.

They logged off
North and South Dakota,

dug the Missouri River
to float the logs to the sawmills,

and then, so they could look the country
over and see what else to do,

they built Pike's Peak.

Now, that was a fair day's work,

even for Paul.

So, the next morning
he overslept a little bit.

Babe wanted him to get up.

Hey! What's the idea?

You big blue ox!

Now, watch it, watch it.

Cut it out, Babe.

Well, one little cuff
led to another.

Oh!

And the first thing
you know,

they was roughhousing
all over the countryside.

Then Paul and Babe got into
a big tug of war.

They piled dirt and rocks so high

it formed a range of mountains.

Today, they are called
the Grand Tetons.

Well, sir, all of this horseplay,
I mean ox play,

made Paul and Babe kind of dirty.

So Paul looked the countryside over,

and got together with Babe.

Before long he had built them
a shower bath.

They went off and left it running.

Today Paul's shower bath
is called Yellowstone Falls.

Shot Gunderson's my name.

I'm river foreman of a timber camp
near the Oregon Trail.

My outfit was mighty discouraged
the day Paul Bunyan arrived.

We were getting timber
in the river,

but we couldn't move it to the sawmills
'cause the river was so crooked.

Paul looked the situation over
careful-like,

then he harnessed Babe with a yoke,

hitched on a big anchor and threw it in
at the head of the river.

Giddyup, Babe.

# Well, Paul and Babe
They heaved and hauled

# And the job was quickly done

# They pulled that crooked river out

# As straight
as the barrel of a gun

- # Hey, Paul
- They're on their way!

- # Paul Bunyan
- # Paul Bunyan

# He's 63 axe handles high

# With his feet on the ground
and his head in the sky

- # Hey, Paul
- # Hey, Paul

- # Paul Bunyan
- # Paul Bunyan

Now the country
began to prosper.

Yep. Civilization had arrived
in the great Northwest.

And with it came
the prophets of progress.

Just move in a little closer, boys.

Yes, siree, right in this box

is the invention that's going to
revolutionize the logging business.

If you'll step over to the nearest tree,
I'll demonstrate.

# With my double-blade axe
And my hobnail boots

# I go where the timber's tall...

Thunderation!

What's that?

Yes sir, boys, just turn on the steam
and let her go.

Hey, there.

Who are you and what
the Sam Hill's that thing?

Me? I'm Joe Muffaw.

And this thing is the latest model
of the handy dandy steamsaw.

Now, bub, if you'll just step aside,
I'd like to cut this tree down.

Hah.

Up here we cut timber with a big axe,
like this one.

And we haul it with a big ox,
like that one.

Bub, you gotta get with the times.

Become modern.

There's the latest invention
for haulin' timber,

a steam locey.

With this steamsaw and that engine

I can cut and haul more timber

than you and that blue ox
ever thought of.

Hah. Is that so?

You, with your
newfangled contraptions.

You, with your big axe
and old fogey ways.

I'll show you what I can do
with this axe!

- I dare you to try it.
- Looks like a toy to me.

Toy, huh?
I'll show ya.

I'll show ya.

There was only one way
to settle it.

I was appointed judge.

"This contest to last one hour."

Then I'll measure the stacks of timber
and declare the winner.

You fellas ready?

- Ready.
- Ready.

- # Hey, Paul
- # Keep swinging, Paul

- # Paul Bunyan
- Yeah, Paul!

# Cut that timber
Show him how

# Beat that city slicker now

- # Hey, Paul
- Get 'em, Paul!

# Paul Bunyan #

The race looked dead even,
and when I went to measure the stacks,

they looked dead even too.

Well, I shimmied up Paul's stack first.

Pulled the measuring chain taut.

For Paul, 240 feet.

- Even.
- Hooray for Paul!

For Joe, 240 feet...

...and one quarter inch.

Yippee!

# Poor Paul

# Poor Paul Bunyan

Yep. The machine
had beaten man.

But don't you folks feel sorry
for Paul and Babe.

I hear they're up Alaska way,
and mighty happy.

Lots of room up there, you know.

Those northern lights
you see in the sky,

well, that's Paul and Babe
having a lot of fun,

oxing around, knocking the aurora
borealis out of the countryside.
