Paul Bunyan (1925) is a novel by James Stevens. Written from a
lifetime of experience as a logger and historian of the logging
industry, Paul Bunyan is a masterful take on one of the defining
legends of the Pacific Northwest. Combining his own stories with
those he heard at logging camps as a young boy, Stevens earned a
reputation as a leading folklorist of his time whose novels and
songs continue to resonate decades after his death. "He could whip
his weight in wildcats, could pull clouds out of the sky, or chew
up stones, or tell the whole world anything!" Larger than life,
Paul Bunyan is a logger whose legend began with the Papineau
Rebellion of 1837. As a defender of young Queen Victoria's right to
the forests of Canada, Bunyan fought fiercely against French
loggers alongside his comrades armed with mattocks, axes, and
hooks. Emerging victorious, he settles down to a life in nature,
building his logging camp and roaming the woods with his trusted
blue ox Babe. From his boyhood in the lumber camps of Idaho to his
time as a logger in Oregon, James Stevens collected the tales of
Bunyan from the more experienced men of the woods, eventually
becoming the foremost expert on one of the Pacific Northwest's
greatest heroes. With a beautifully designed cover and
professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of James Stevens'
Paul Bunyan is a classic work of American literature reimagined for
modern readers.
