Book excerpt: Five minutes after his birth, Johnny Kaw is over six feet tall and still growing. When he outgrows his crib and even their town, his parents decide to move west where "little" Johnny can have plenty of room to play. After the family crosses the wide Missouri River to Kansas, Johnny sits down to play with his dog. His bottom ends up making the valley where his family will settle. And when Johnny clears stones from a field so his father can plow, he ends up creating the Rocky Mountains in the process. The legendary folk hero shapes the state's landscape by carving out valleys and creating prairies with his bare hands. Why, he even takes on a tornado when it threatens the family farm.

Download or read book Tall Tales written by Bill Walker and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-05-03 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Anatomy is destiny,” Freud famously wrote. Since caveman times, humans have had practically sacred attitudes towards height. Bill Walker, a near 7-foot tall globetrotter, has produced a highly entertaining book—Tall Tales—on this much underrated subject. Walker ruthlessly submerges his ego to tell a ream of strange, but true, real-life stories. These include flunking the physical to enter the U.S. Army, suffering rejection by horrified members of the opposite sex, and being treated like a wild animal escaped from the zoo in foreign countries. Walker expands the discussion beyond himself to include some intriguing issues:--the infamous Napoleonic short man's complex. And how about its inverse for tall people--the ostrich complex? --What is one to make of the avalanche of studies that show tall people consistently make more money than their shorter counterparts, and win almost every presidential election?--Most of history's mass-murderers have been well to the short side. Is this merely a coincidence?--A closer, more revealing, look at the lives of 7'1 ½” Wilt Chamberlain, 7'2 ½” Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, 8'11” Robert Wadlow, and 6'5” Abraham Lincoln.--Why short and small may well be the wave of the future.
