Because a frontier was being cleared, lumberjacks were important in clearing and producing lumber to build the frontier, and people like folk heroes.  Nowadays, people like sports heroes or military heroes, and I would suspect that those are they types of legends that would come out of today's world (at least in America).

This is a great story that says it all...The Velveteen Rabbit.\nTHERE was once a velveteen rabbit, and in the beginning he was really splendid. He was fat and bunchy, as a rabbit should be; his coat was spotted brown and white, he had real thread whiskers, and his ears were lined with pink sateen. On Christmas morning, when he sat wedged in the top of the Boy's stocking, with a sprig of holly between his paws, the effect was charming. \n\nThere were other things in the stocking, nuts and oranges and a toy engine, and chocolate almonds and a clockwork mouse, but the Rabbit was quite the best of all. For at least two hours the Boy loved him, and then Aunts and Uncles came to dinner, and there was a great rustling of tissue paper and unwrapping of parcels, and in the excitement of looking at all the new presents the Velveteen Rabbit was forgotten. \n\nFor a long time he lived in the toy cupboard or on the nursery floor, and no one thought very much about him. He was naturally shy, and being only made of velveteen, some of the more expensive toys quite snubbed him. The mechanical toys were very superior, and looked down upon every one else; they were full of modern ideas, and pretended they were real. The model boat, who had lived through two seasons and lost most of his paint, caught the tone from them and never missed an opportunity of referring to his rigging in technical terms. The Rabbit could not claim to be a model of anything, for he didn't know that real rabbits existed; Between them all the poor little Rabbit was made to feel himself very insignificant and commonplace, and the only person who was kind to him at all was the Skin Horse. \n\nThe Skin Horse had lived longer in the nursery than any of the others. He was so old that his brown coat was bald in patches and showed the seams underneath, and most of the hairs in his tail had been pulled out to string bead necklaces. He was wise, for he had seen a long succession of mechanical toys arrive to boast and swagger, and by-and-by break their mainsprings and pass away, and he knew that they were only toys, and would never turn into anything else. For nursery magic is very strange and wonderful, and only those playthings that are old and wise and experienced like the Skin Horse understand all about it. \n\n"What is REAL?" asked the Rabbit one day,  "Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out handle?" \n\n"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When someone loves you for a long, long time, REALLY loves you, then you become Real." \n\n"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit. \n\n"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt." \n\n"Does it happen all at once, like being wound up," he asked, "or bit by bit?" \n\n"It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand." \n\nIf it is real love..........it does not matter!

Tough question.  As a Canadian veteran in World War I, and winner of the Boston Marathon, he certainly was a high profile member of his tribe.  Most of the information readily available doesn't chronicle his direct contribution to his tribe, beyond his celebrity status/notoriety.\n\nThere are several biographies available about him on Amazon.

Perhaps you could include photgraphs of famous people reknowned for their honesty and thoughtfulness.  Abraham Lincoln, Gandhi, etc.  These could be juxtaposed with people infamous for their duplicity.

why don't you try www.mythman.com? I have found it very interesting especially since it is humorous and gives a modern twist on old legends(not that the old legends were boring in any way!).

Doesn't matter...He'll always be a legend!!  I saw "8 Men Out".  That movie and others ("Field of Dreams") keep him legendary.  Hall of Fame or not...He'll never be forgotten.

The horse he rode on his famous ride belonged to Deacon Larkin I believe it was named Brown Beauty. He did own another horse but I can't remember the name. It was an american quarter horse. Perhaps Molly Bea. Fuzzy history.

This question worries me on various levels. Can it be that there are educational systems in the world that blithely skip over the great horrors humanity has visited on itself? Will the murders of the Armenians, Jews, Cambodians, Kulaks, Tutsis ... God forgive me for not mentioning them all ... just become "legends" for future generations?
