Download or read book Out of the Northwoods written by Michael Edmonds and published by Wisconsin Historical Society. This book was released on 2010-09-24 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every American has heard of the lumberjack hero Paul Bunyan and his big blue ox. For 100 years his exploits filled cartoons, magazines, short stories, and children's books, and his name advertised everything from pancake breakfasts to construction supplies. By 1950 Bunyan was a ubiquitous icon of America's strength and ingenuity. Until now, no one knew where he came from—and the extent to which this mythical hero is rooted in Wisconsin. Out of the Northwoods presents the culture of nineteenth-century lumberjacks in their own words. It includes eyewitness accounts of how the first Bunyan stories were shared on frigid winter nights, around logging camp stoves, in the Wisconsin pinery. It describes where the tales began, how they moved out of the forest and into print, and why publication changed them forever. Part bibliographic mystery and part social history, Out of the Northwoods explains for the first time why we all know and love Paul Bunyan.

Two days after, Sarah is promptly fired, and the Klu Klux Klan sets a fiery cross in her front yard. Still, Sarah remains determined to persevere, befriends Henrys mother, and invites her and Henry to live and work on her farm. Eight years later, Henry is entering manhood, the farmland is fertile, and the three unlikely friends have formed an unbreakable bond. When a tornado destroys her farm and propels a personable ox into their lives, the three friends invite Babe to join their family. But as the threat of persecution by the Klan eventually forces them to escape to northern Minnesota, they all soon discover that their destinies are different than they ever imagined. In this historical novel, a widowed schoolteacher, a blue ox, and a mother and son form a friendship that leads them from East Texas to a Minnesota logging camp where each embraces a new beginning.

Book excerpt: A NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST Part historical fiction, part fable, and 100 percent adventure. Thirteen-year-old Mei reimagines the myths of Paul Bunyan as starring a Chinese heroine while she works in a Sierra Nevada logging camp in 1885. Cover may vary. Aware of the racial tumult in the years after the passage of the Chinese Exclusion Act, Mei tries to remain blissfully focused on her job, her close friendship with the camp foreman's daughter, and telling stories about Paul Bunyan--reinvented as Po Pan Yin (Auntie Po), an elderly Chinese matriarch. Anchoring herself with stories of Auntie Po, Mei navigates the difficulty and politics of lumber camp work and her growing romantic feelings for her friend Bee. The Legend of Auntie Po is about who gets to own a myth, and about immigrant families and communities holding on to rituals and traditions while staking out their own place in the United States.
