Paul Bunyan There have been very few characters
of American folklore with the stature of Paul Bunyan. This legend of
lumberjacks possessed strength, speed and skill that matched the vastness
of North America. According to legend, Paul Bunyan and his giant blue
ox, Babe, left many a mark on the landscape, receiving credit for creating
Puget Sound, the Grand Canyon and the Black Hills.

Nathan Hale This doll represents Nathan
Hale as he faced death. After graduating from Yale University, he enthusiastically
joined the Connecticut Army to help fight for the freedom of our newly
declared country. He was one of the first of millions to serve with
dedication and enthusiasm, and is remembered for his famous last words
before being hanged, "I only regret that I have but one life to
lose for my country." The artist is an ancestor of Nathan Hale.
