Swamp Angel by Anne Isaacs

This is one of my favorite tall tale stories. It is not well known.

Angelica, the Swamp Angel, is like Paul Bunyan. She is abnormally tall for a human being. She takes part in a town competition to remove the town's nemesis, Thunderin Tarnation, a black bear that is abnormally large. However, no one thinks she can do it because she is a female.
