Paul Bunyan is a mythological lumberjack who is usually believed to be a giant as well as a lumberjack. The character was first written about in the work of journalist James MacGillivray in 1910.
Supposedly, Paul Bunyan was a giant, and his profession was logging trees. He had an enormous blue ox, and legend has it, that everywhere he stepped (Paul, not the ox) filled with water and became a lake. That's (supposedly) why Minnesota has so many lakes.
Paul Bunyan is a larger-than-life lumberjack character from American folklore known for his incredible strength and tall tales. Babe the Blue Ox is Paul Bunyan's companion, who is also legendary for its size and strength. Together, they are iconic figures that represent the logging industry in North America.
