PRODUCT SUMMARY
From sea to shining sea, the United States is a country full of tall tales! Take the story of Mike Fink and Annie Christmas, legendary keel boat captains who battle with strength and skill on the waters of the mighty Mississippi River. Meet Febold Feboldson, an ingenious farmer credited with bringing rain to the hot, dusty Great Plains, and Joe Magarac, the quintessential steel man from Pittsburgh, Pa., who can make railroad tracks with his bare hands. Tall tale heroes hail from the four corners of the United States and are as all-American as apple pie on the Fourth of July! Part of the multivolume Greatest American Tall Tales & Legends DVD Series. A Teacher's Guide is included and available online.
