A legendary American folk hero, Paul Bunyan is best known as a lumberjack who cleared America’s old-growth forests from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. A giant of a man, he is also said to have dug Washington state’s Puget Sound with the help of his enormous companion, Babe, the Blue Ox. The San Juan Islands were created from the dirt he threw backwards while digging the Sound.
