>Sorry to bug you guys with this, but I'm getting ready to try and design a whole American King Under the Mountain Myth campagin for UA and I can't find a thing of any substance online or in any of the bookstores near me on American Folklore. I can find Native American Folklore, South American Folklore, I can even find Russian Folklore but nothing on Pecos Bill or John Henry, or most importantly Paul Bunyon so if you guys no any sites or books the subject please tell me.

One of Ken Hite's Suppressed Transmissions was about Paul Bunyan, and is collected in ST2 (which also has a whole article on the archetype of the Fool).  As always, he suggests several places to go for more information on the topic (though, it seems, less than in some other columns)
