(1892 - 1971)
James Stevens (1892 – December 31, 1971) was an American author and composer.

After fighting in World War I, he came back to work in the woods and sawmills of Oregon. Among his literary works were Paul Bunyan (1925), Brawny Man (1926), Mattock (1927), Homer in the Sagebrush (1928), The Saginaw Paul Bunyan (1932), Paul Bunyan Bears (1947), and Tree Treasure (1950).
