Paul Bunyan and His Loggers —By— Otis T. and Cloice R. Howd [Pg 1]Paul Bunyan and His Loggers By Cloice R. Howd and Otis T. Howd Paul Bunyan was the logging industry; not, to be sure, as it is found in Forest Service Reports or in profit and loss statements, but rather as it burned in the bones of the true North Woods lumberjack. To understand the significance of the Bunyan stories one must know something of the men who first told them. While the lumber industry has found a place in every section of the country except the treeless plains, it was the pineries of the Lake States which furnished most of its romance.
