"This is a serious book about a humorous subject--the jokes, stories, and legends Mormons tell about their most beloved folk hero, the cowboy preacher J. Golden Kimball (1853-1938). In addition to proving an as-complete-as-possible collection of J. Golden Kimball stories, the main purpose of this book is to take an in-deph look at the unlikely but enduringly appropriate combination of humor and religiosity present in the oral traditions about him and to place him and his stories in the historical and cultural contexts relevant to unerstanding his significance."
