Subjects of some American tall tales include legendary figures:
*[[Paul Bunyan]] &ndash; huge lumberjack who eats 50 pancakes in one minute, dug the [[Grand Canyon]] with his axe, made [[Minnesota]]'s [[List of lakes of Minnesota|ten thousand lakes]] with his footprints, and also has a blue ox named Babe who made the Mississippi River
*[[Tony Beaver]] &ndash; a [[West Virginia]] lumberjack and cousin of Paul Bunyan
*[[Pecos Bill]] &ndash; legendary cowboy who "tamed the wild west"
*[[Cordwood Pete]] &ndash; younger brother to lumberjack Paul Bunyan
*[[Febold Feboldson]] &ndash; a [[Nebraska]] farmer who could fight a drought
*[[Johnny Kaw]], a fictional [[Kansas|Kansan]] whose mythological status itself was in one sense a figment, in that it was created recently, in 1955. Adherents of this assessment deem such stories [[fakelore]].
*[[Joe Magarac]] &ndash; a [[Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania|Pittsburgh]] steelworker made of steel
*[[Alfred Bulltop Stormalong]] &ndash; an immense sailor whose ship was so big that it scraped [[the Moon]]
*[[Mose Humphrey]]; a brave NYC firefighter
*[[Honeydipper Dan]]; a 20 foot tall outhouse cleaner.
