I thought this was an interesting article and it is an update to one last week. It's about a slave of the 1700s who had bought his freedom and for his height and strength and prowess at cutting wood earned the nickname "The Black Paul Bunyan".

The man's living descendants have no problems with the excavation. Yet, some lawyer had to get involved...


(Paul Bunyan is an American folk hero. Lots of interesting tales about him and his crew and his pet blue ox Babe. )
