Is the song John Henry a myth or is it really something that happened, and if so is there any documentation on the song or the man? Thanks for the help

	rickshunter1 says: 2/12/2011 5:02:12 PM John Henry, a mighty laborer who outperformed a mechanical drill, is a character who first appeared in African American songs and ballads. He can be seen as a symbol of black strength and of African Americans' refusal to be crushed. In more general terms, John Henry also represents the human will and spirit, which a machine may defeat but can never duplicate.
