Paul Bunyan was a folklore lumberjack and a giant said by some to be 8 feet tall and weigh 300 pounds. Other stories depicted him as being literally as big as a mountain (or bigger). It was said three storks were needed to bring him as a baby to his parents and when he learned to clap and laugh their vibrations broke every window in the house. He was a lumberjack of unusual skill and was aid by his big blue ox, Babe. It is said Paul created the Grand Canyon when he dragged his axe behind him and created Mount Hood by putting out a fire with rocks.
