The Marvelous Exploits of Paul Bunyan

The title page says the exploits of Paul Bunyan are as told in the camps of the white pine lumbermen for generations, during which time the loggers have pioneered the way through the North Woods from Maine to California. The text says Paul Bunyan came to Westwood, California in 1913 at the suggestion of some of the most prominent loggers and lumbermen in the country. The text says Paul Bunyan is known by his mighty works, while his antecedents and personal history are lost in doubt.

The text says all of Paul's inventions were successful except when he decided to run three ten-hour shifts a day and installed the Aurora Borealis, a plan abandoned after a number of trials because the lights were not dependable. The text says the Seven Axemen of the Red River had a camp on Red River with the three-hundred cooks and the Little Chore Boy. The text says the axes of the Seven Axemen were so big it took a week to grind one of them, and that each man had three axes and two helpers to carry the spare axes to the river when they got red hot from chopping.
