American Tall Tales!

Send us a text

Howdy fellow students of lore!
Today, we celebrate the birthday of the United States by delving into a few of the Tall Tales that grew out of our early days as a nation. We will take a ride with Pecos Bill, bounce over to Slue-Foot Sue, and take a swing at John Henry, as well as Paul Bunyan with his big blue ox, Babe!
Happy Independence Day! We hope you are having a safe and fun holiday that is larger than life.
Check out the great Robin Williams regaling the tale of Pecos Bill here:
