92. The story of Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox




















I had never heard this until now, but apparently the legend of Paul Bunyan is younger than you think. Some advertising executive came up with it in 1916, which means Paul Bunyan falls into the category of fakelore. Still, I love the story, and what does it matter that some guy made it up as ad copy for a logging company?
