J. Golden Kimball: The Remarkable Man Behind the Colorful Stories by Kathryn Jenkins Gordon

4.0

J. Golden Kimball is know as a colorful leader of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the late 1800s and early 1900s. This book gives an interesting biographical sketch of this man, known as a "Mormon cowboy and humorist," who was sometimes compared to Will Rogers. The story contains lots of entertaining stories and quotes, but also explores the challenges, failures and heart-aches that J. Golden Kimball dealt with during his long life and storied career as a church leader and preacher. We listened to the audio of the book on a family road trip and thoroughly enjoyed it, and we also learned a bit about Western and church history.
