How Paul Bunyan Shaped America’s Landscape | Ep69

Paul Bunyan isn’t just a giant lumberjack—he’s the towering force behind North America’s wildest landscapes. From carving the Mississippi River with his axe to smoothing the Rocky Mountains, his colossal feats reshape the very earth. Born from the tall tales of 19th-century loggers, Bunyan embodies grit, humor, and the boundless spirit needed to tame the wilderness. But as the forests vanished and industry took hold, he slipped into legend—still echoing through the trees, waiting for a world big enough to need him again.
