About this listen
Local historian Mary Kay Royer joins us to dive into the life of Cherry Tree Joe McCreery — the larger-than-life raftsman whose real exploits on the West Branch of the Susquehanna are said to have inspired the Paul Bunyan tall tales.
We talk logging, river lore, local history, and the stories that turned a skilled raftsman into a full-blown legend.
And yes… we’re still trying to confirm a few details from his later years, including his Civil War service — so if you’re a history buff, your insight might help us connect those dots.
Give it a listen and step into the world where real men became folklore.
