Tall Tales – Have you Ever Heard of Them?

It’s the little kid in all of us that keeps us forever inventing and believing in super heroes. What man or boy can’t get absorbed in the thrill of Batman defending Gotham City, and grown-up little girls still believe in the white night and gallant princes. Have we forgotten the heroes that saved America in the early days? The tall Tales of early America still entertain me as much as any modern super hero!

I can still get enthralled by Paul Bunyan’s feats, love Johnny Appleseed, and John Henry is still my hero; who can forget Calamity Jane! The tall tale is a fundamental element of American folk literature. A Tall Tale is like today’s super heroes in that they are bigger or stronger than real people and they solve problems in super-human ways. That is where the similarity ends. With Super Heroes, There is an attempt to let you imagine that sometime in the future technology could advance enough for this to happen. It began as a competition between storytellers to see who could outdo each other, and as the humor and sarcasm grew it became a Tall Tale. They solve everyday, unsolvable problems in a bigger than life, humorous way (Paul Bunyan hooking his ox to curvy logging roads and pulling them straight, or Pecos Bill lassoing a tornado to subdue it).

Tall tales are all American. The need for the supernatural is universal; Fairy tales in Europe, Genies in the middle east and Wee Folk in Irland. Meanwhile America sat around campfires and fireplaces and told our Tall Tales, each tale outdoing the last. Each one meant to bring a laugh and a taller tale from the person next to you.

Although the most popular of the tall tales originated in the west and seemed to flourish everywhere the tough men of the American Frontier would gather, many came from east of the Mississippi. The toughest boatman on the Mississippi River was Mike Fink, and a their own Man-of-steel was a Pittsburg steel worker – Joe Magarac. Paul Bunyon had a cousin in West Virginia, another lumberjack named Tony Beaver.

The best thing about a tall tale is that everyone could join in. Told in the vernacular of the day, they possessed a homey feel and anyone with a little imagination could spin one or ad to a tale already started. You could invent your own character, add to one someone else started, or take a real live character (Calamity Jane) and make them larger than life. It was all fun, and helped take the edge off of some pretty rough days trying to scratch a living.

Unfortunately, since these were passed along from campfire to campfire, many got lost forever. Fortunately, as America settled into a civilized society, some of these wonderful tales were written down by our literary-minded keepers of the past. There are many versions of Tall Tales that can be found in any library, and there is plenty of them available on the Internet sure to bring a chuckle or a laugh. or the newest Tall Tale, click Search for Pecos Bill
