The Last Folk Hero: The Life and Myth of Bo Jackson

What do Paul Bunyan and Bo Jackson have in common? Both are American folk heroes in their own right—only Bo Jackson lived during our lifetime. Football star turned sports legend, his stunts (walking across walls, shattering baseball bats over his head, and jumping over a parked VW, to name a few) riveted the country until the early 1990s…when he mysteriously and abruptly disappeared from the public eye. Now, in the pages of The Last Folk Hero, New York Times Bestselling Author and master storyteller Jeff Pearlman sheds light on never-before-seen truths about the man and myth that was Bo Jackson.
