One of the three most famous and deserving "Pauls" in the world, the other two being Sir Paul of Beatle and just plain Paul who played drums and carried the gun for Willie Nelson for 50 years. (The club owners who hired Willie were often slow to produce the night's receipts...Paul was there to make sure they did.) If you are interested in Paul, the song "Me and Paul" tells the story. You already know Sir Paul's story, and if you don't know Paul Bunyan's tale, you can read it HERE from several years ago, and see a bunch of his big effigies.
The Paul here was built by Cyril M. Dickinson and Jim Payton, in 1936, in Bemidji MN.
