Heber C. Kimball: MORMON PATRIARCH AND PIONEER

      Heber C. Kimball was Mormonism's most colorful leader and a major force

        in shaping, sustaining, and spreading the Mormon faith. Only Joseph Smith

        and Brigham Young wielded as much authority or had as much influence during

        the first four decades of the Mormon church. This is the first comprehensive

        and objective biography of Kimball since 1888. Stanley B. Kimball, Heber's

        great-great-grandson, shows us the man in all of his many dimensions — -missionary,

        pioneer, preacher, politician, farmer, father, and husband.

      "Superb! This is a superior biography, based almost entirely on

        manuscript sources, few of which have been used or even examined by other

        scholars. It is new, it is fresh, it is fast-moving, it has the ring of

        truth, there is little editorializing, and it is written with economy,

        clarity, and balance."

        — Leonard J. Arrington, author of Brigham Young: American Moses
