Not much is known about John Henry – especially considering most of his life and history is considered folklore and myth.

John is very happy to sit down with you to talk about many things, but not always about where he came from. What he’s told a few is that his parents were slaves, which he was born as one. His size and bulk had him working in the fields even as a child.
After the Civil War and being freed he made his way west finding work here and there. Again his size and bulk got him a job as a steel driver, he could swing the hammer fast and with accuracy.
He met Paul Bunyan when the small group was making their way to Alaska. He was surprised that the small group was so mixed and seemed very friendly with each other. He found himself talking to them each night after his shift, enjoying their stories and laughter.
When he was challenged to go against the steam powered hammer, he took it with no problems. He beat the machine, but the damage was done.
Paul gave him another chance at life.
