Publisher Summary
Dedicating this story to the 343 New York City firefighters who perished on September 11, 2001, Osborne brings the legend of Mose Humphrey, a volunteer firefighter in 1840s New York City, to life. Honored with plays about his feats that were performed on Broadway, Humphrey's strength took on larger-than-life proportions over the years, much like folk hero Paul Bunyan. Illustrations.
