Was Paul Bunyan a real person? It is believed that he was based on a real person. The most likely person was Fabian Fournier who was also called Saginaw Joe (although there are others). He was a French-Canadian lumberjack from Canada. As a matter of fact many of the lumbermen were from Canada in the beginning.
Â
Paul always had a fascination for saws and cutting things with them. He cut the legs off his parents bed (while they were asleep) when he was just a baby. As a young man he naturally turned to cutting down trees. He became known as the biggest and best of all the lumbermen. With one swing of his double-bladed axe he could chop down 25 trees.
Â
He is described as an easy going man who loved animals. At the same time he was loud, determined to have things his way, and stubborn. He liked his tobacco. His pipe could hold a bushel of tobacco for his smoking pleasure. He liked to drink and do all the manly things.
