Who was the younger brother of Paul Bunyan, known as a famed lumberjack depicted as a statue in Fosston, Minnesota?

• A. Pecos Pete
• B. Timber Pete
• C. Corwood Pete
• D. Jock Pete

Answer: (C)

In folklore, Paul Bunyan is part of a wider cast of legendary lumberjacks, including a younger brother who is also celebrated in regional stories. In Minnesota’s Fosston, the figure associated with Bunyan as the younger brother and honored as a lumberjack in a statue is Corwood Pete. That name is the one most closely tied to both the familial link to Bunyan and the local statue, which is why it’s the best fit for this question. The other names—Pecos Pete, Timber Pete, and Jock Pete—don’t share that same specific connection to Fosston or to Bunyan’s family in the familiar folklore.
