    In American folklore, who shot all the stars from the sky except for one?

    Question #77702. Asked by RaeRae55. (Mar 23 07 7:24 AM)

    		It was Pecos Bill. As the legend goes, one time he was so bored, that he took out his handy six-shooter and shot out all of the stars in the sky except for one. That is why they call Texas the "Lone Star State".
