National Paul Bunyan Day celebrates Paul Bunyan, one of the folk heroes of North America, specifically Canada, and appears to have originated in lore around 1837. Accompanied by his bull, Babe the Blue Ox, the legend says that the Great Lakes came into being because Babe needed a watering hole, and the Grand Canyon emerged because Paul Bunyan and Babe walked through the mountains dragging his axe.
Paul Bunyan originated as a North American oral tradition common among loggers, but William B. Laughead popularized the stories about this character as publicity for the Red River Lumber Company.
The first known printed story about Bunyan, "Caught on the Run," ran in the Duluth News Tribune on August 4, 1904. Its author is unknown.
One of the more notable authors is James MacGillivray, who wrote about Paul Bunyan in "Round River" in the July 24, 1910 edition of the Detroit News.
Today is one of two Paul Bunyan Days.
