Most Americans have probably heard of Paul Bunyan, but how many know of his brother Earl Bunyon? Yes, yes, the last names are spelled differently but what can you expect when Earl was concocted in a bar in 1957?
Earl Bunyon "Cowboy of the Plains" was created by Fred and Berd LaRocque in the S&L Bar that they owned in New Town, North Dakota. Earl was put together by oil field roughnecks from various bits of extra oil drilling machinery and erected in New Town in 1958. (New Town gets its name because the old town, Sanish, was flooded out with the completion of the Garrison Dam).
Fred and Berd died in the 1960s and were cremated and buried at Earl's feet. Their son Jene put up the monument and wrote the histories that you can see beneath Earl. Jene died in 2003 and he, along with his wife Velma, are also buried at Earl's feet.

The Quiet Woman in Earl Sterndale - more quiet than usual in lockdown. A time warp pub with an unusual name and history - loquacious women beware - well worth visiting for a pint and a pork pie and a chat with the locals but it doesn't do meals.

My unconventional bash continued with Sapphire 101 branded 6477 on the 140, seen at the turning circle at Earl Estate just before I boarded. With this being my penultimate one, I was just left with 6479 which I'd seen on (it's correct!) 101 earlier on, and had tracked down to the minute! 12/9/17

Earl has always been the odd-man out. Over the years he tried several ways to impress his friends but none of his efforts were ever good enough. As usual, he was ignored. So, in secrecy he decided to master standing on his left leg while extending his right wing and foot as far out as he could (without falling over). Once he felt he was good enough he thought his new prowess would certainly bring him the attention he so dearly craved. “Look, look, look at me! See what I can do”, Earl shouted (in his mind, of course – pelicans can’t talk). Again, it was all to no avail. His so-called “friends” simply continued to ignore him. “Maybe I’ll just fly off and join the circus,” Earl thought.

A few years ago, I found three old photo albums at an antique store and picked them up without even looking inside. When I got home with them and started flipping the pages, I was thrilled to find several photos of a man and his
race car. After some research, I was able to identify the driver as local OKC resident Earl Swan, who participated in the 1915 Southwest Sweepstakes Grand Prix race in Oklahoma City. If you'd like to read more about this little-known history, go here:

This is the original 'Earl', the second locomotive to be built by the Festiniog Railway Company in its own workshops at Boston Lodge and the fourth of the railway's Double Fairlies. It was withdrawn in 1971 and cosmetically restored for static display; it is currently at the National Railway Museum.
