Wyman Acknowledgement Unive rsity of Wisconsin-Extension· is especially indebted to Dr. Loren Robin­ son of the Department of J ournali sm, University of Wisconsin, River Fall s, and lo Leon Zaborowski, Universit y Extension, River Falls, for the initial concept of a series of articles on Wisconsin fo lklore, published through daily and weekly newspa­ pe rs in Wisconsin. It was from those articles by Walker Wyman that this book was developed. The contribution of the va rious newspapers which ca rried the articles is also gratefully acknowledged.

Price: $4.95 ii Foreword The preparation of a book on folklore to be published by the University Exten­ sion is a major event. There has been, for many years, strong sentiment that the University of Wisconsi n ought to take a more dynamic interest in folklore, and that eventually, academic work in that subject should be established on many of the cam­ puses. So far only the Universities at Eau C laire, River Falls, and at Stevens Point have formal courses. The University at M adison has never had an y such course though informal interest has been strongly present. The University at R iver Falls has developed, through the activities and interests of Dr. Walker W yman, a publish­ ing program which has produced several books of regional fol klore.

  • Tall Tale Activities
    Tall-Tales A tall tale is a story that has the following features: - A larger-than life, even superhuman, main character - A problem that is solved in a funny way - Exaggerated details that describe things as greater than they really are - Characters who use everyday language How did tall tales get started? Settlers who made their homes in the American wilderness first told tall tales. In those days, long before TV and movies, people depended on storytelling for entertainment. After a long day’s work, people gathered to tell each other funny tales. Each group of workers, such as loggers, cowboys, and railroad and steel workers, had its own tall tale hero. Having a superhuman hero with the same job somehow made their lives easier. Perhaps it gave them the strength and courage to do their difficult and dangerous work. (courtesy of www.hasd.org/ges/talltale/talltale) Many families carry on this tradition when certain family members spin tales from their past, as is the case in Tim Burton’s film Big Fish, which is based on the Daniel Wallace novel. Tall Tale Legends First of all, let’s get some historical context and delve into some tall tales that are specific to American history… Paul Bunyan There have been few characters of American folklore with the stature of Paul Bunyan. This legendary hero 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, among others.

  • Cartographers As Critics: Staking Claims in the Mapping of American Literature
    Cartographers as Critics: Staking Claims in the Mapping of American Literature by Kyle Carsten Wyatt A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of English Collaborative Program in Book History & Print Culture University of Toronto © Copyright by Kyle Carsten Wyatt 2011 Cartographers as Critics: Staking Claims in the Mapping of American Literature Kyle Carsten Wyatt Doctor of Philosophy Department of English Collaborative Program in Book History & Print Culture University of Toronto 2011 Abstract “Cartographers as Critics: Staking Claims in the Mapping of American Literature” recuperates the print culture phenomenon of literary map production, which became popular in North America around 1898. A literary map can be defined as any pictorial map that depicts imaginative worlds or authorial associations across geopolitical space. While notable examples have circulated for centuries in bound books, such as Thomas More’s Utopia and William Faulkner’s Absalom, Absalom!, the majority of twentieth- century literary maps were ephemeral productions that have not survived in great numbers. These discursive documents functioned as compelling expressions of literary taste and cultural values; they circulated in magazines and newspapers, as gas station promotional giveaways and diner placemats, and as classroom “equipment.” Extant literary maps offer new perspectives on turn-of-the-twentieth century U.S. literary nationalism and the Public Library Movement, “fiction debates” and “Great Books”
