These tall tales are abbreviated versions of the tall tales we wrote after much study of
the history of California explorers. We also read about tall tale heroes including
Pecos Bill and Paul Bunyan to get an idea of how to use hyperboles, exaggeration and
similes to describe our explorers. Taking literary license we tweaked the truth a
little bit. We hope you enjoy reading these tall tales as much as we enjoyed writing
them.
