HELLO FROM MINNESOTA

Legendary Paul Bunyan

PAUL BUNYAN

Manistique, Michigan

The legendary Paul Bunyan is the lumberjacks' performer of prodigious feats. Like the logging business, the legend of Paul Bunyan originated in the New England states, in the Canadian provinces, and migrated with the timber frontier. That's a local citizen reaching top of Paul's boot. Located at intersection of U.S. 2 and M 94.

Paul Bunyan & Babe

These huge figures of steel and concrete built on the shore of Lake Bemidji are emblematical of the days of the early lumberjack who originated lumbercamp whoppers of Paul and Babe that have been handed down for generations. These stories, never heard outside the haunts of the lumberjack until recent years, are declared by some literary authorities to be "the only true American myth."
