Folklore of Maine: Paul Bunyan

On the day he was born, Paul Bunyan gave his parents quite the shock. He was the largest baby they had ever seen. He was far to heavy to carry, so 5 large birds had to pick him up to move him from place to place.

By the time he was only a few weeks old, he weighed over 100 pounds.

Growing up, Paul was ALWAYS hungry. He ate 50 eggs and 10 bushels of potatoes a day.

By the time he was 13, he was so big, his parents had no idea what to do with him. One time, Paul rolled over when he was sleeping and this caused an earthquake.

The earthquake brought a mob of angry townsfolk to the Bunyan's home. They demanded that Paul must go live elsewhere.

His parents took him deep into the woods. This is where he would stay.

In the woods, he helped his father cut down trees. This was easy work for Paul, as he had the strength of 20 men and he was very very fast.

One day Paul came upon an unusual sight. I found a blue baby ox and decided to keep him. At night he put the ox in the barn with the other animals. In the morning the barn was gone and so was the ox.

Paul found him grazing in a field. But the ox was no longer small. He had grown into a giant ox over night. So tall, his back (which now had the barn stuck on top of it) came up to Paul's waist

Paul named the ox Babe.

Paul and Babe left Maine and headed west to search for more work in the forests. On the way, Paul dug out the Great Lakes so that babe could have plenty of water to drink.

They settled at a camp in Minnesota.


Paul gathered other lumberjacks to help with the work. His crew became known as the Seven Axemen. All of these men were well over 6 feet tall and weighed over 300 pounds.

Every Sunday, Paul and his crew ate pancakes. Each cake was so large, it took 5 men just to eat one.

Paul always gave Babe a giant sugar cube as a treat after a hard day's work.

It is said that Paul cleared many forests throughout the northern united states and parts of Canada.

Babe died in South Dakota. It is believed he ate too many pancakes. Paul buried his companion there and this created the Black Hills.

There are different versions of Paul's Fate. Some say that he was last seen in Alaska, or even the Arctic Circle. Other stories say that he returns to Minnesota or Maine every summer but that he moves in and out of the forest so many never know where he is.
