Only Joseph Smith and Brigham Young wielded as much authority or had as much influence during the first four decades of the Mormon church.

Kimball, Heber's great-great-grandson, shows us the man in all of his many dimensions---missionary, pioneer, preacher, politician, farmer, father, and husband.
