Contrary to popular belief, the legendary Paul Bunyan really existed. He was a fugitive from his native Quebec, having to flee for his life during the Papineau Rebellion. At first he battled the forces of the then, young Queen Victoria in 1837, later retreating into the forests of northern Michigan. He was never to return.
Only those closest to Paul Bunyan were aware that he had fathered a child— a boy who had been kept away from logging camps and the woods community. The first that most folks knew of the boy’s existence was when the child was brought to the cabin of the camp keeper (food provider for the camp) for the purpose of finding him a foster home.
After a few years in foster care, Pauly (Paul Bunyan's son) was left to the Swamp Angel by Paul Bunyan because of a tragedy leaving the foster child homeless.
Paul called his old friend, the Swamp Angel aside as Pauly, standing somewhat rigidly, watched them whispering and occasionally glancing his way. Finally, Pauly's father, with a hard, somber look on his face, came over to him, bending down to meet the boy’s height. “Son, this is gonna be hard to understand.” Then, after a long pause: “The Swamp Angel here is gonna take care of you. No matter what, you mind him!”
So begins the incredible story of the adventures of Paul Bunyan's son, Pauly. The book is part of a series of three written by Roy Stier before his untimely death in 2007. Timeless Voyager Press has re-issued the books as Kindles for all younger readers who enjoy outdoor adventures and are interested in the ways of lost pioneering skills. Set in the deep forests of Ohop, Washington, the adventures will make your child's imagination run wild with bunkhouse tales told by long forgotten loggers over the camp fire.
13 digitally colored illustrations (originally B&W) accompany the 29 chapters of the adventures of Paul, son of Paul Bunyan and his mentor. The Swamp Angel.
