Summary: The J. Golden Kimball Stories share this beloved and iconoclastic Mormon humorist's opinions on death, marriage, love, hell, and God. Arranged thematically and framed by brief contextual introductions, each chapter provides a colorful portrait of a free-thinking Mormon folk hero. Compiled by Eric A. Eliason from original fieldwork and previously unpublished archival resources, these stories, anecdotes, and jokes place Kimball (1853-1938) in the context of Mormon history and folklore scholarship. The J. Golden Kimball Stories capture the irreverent comedy, sharp wit, and independent thinking that made him so popular, whether among other Mormons or in society at large.
