Summary

Paul Bunyan, Pecos Bill, and Davy Crockett are some of the roughest, toughest characters to ever blaze the frontier. Clever as the crack of a whip and strong as a wildcat, these tall-tale heroes each left a legacy of larger-than-life deeds that has captured the American imagination for over a century. Three rib-tickling tracks tell the whole story believe it or not. When Americans set out to conquer a wild frontier, they needed larger-than-life role models to match their big surroundings. Enter Paul Bunyan, Pecos Bill, and Davy Crockett, tall-tale heroes whose stories were told around campfires and at town socials, and whose deeds became ever more amazing (and outlandish) in the retelling.
