Cain wanders the frontier as a Bigfootlike hairy beast and confronts an early Mormon apostle. An evil band of murderers from Mormon scripture, known as the Gadianton robbers, provides an excuse for the failure of a desert town. Stories of children raised from the dead with decayed bodies and damaged minds help draw boundaries between the proper spheres of human and divine action. Mormons who observe UFOs in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries find ways to explain them in relation to the churchs cosmology. The millenarian dimension of that belief system induces church members to invest in the Dream Mine, a hidden treasure that a wouldbe heir to Joseph Smith wraps in prophecy of the end times. A Utah version of Nessie haunts a large mountain lake. NonMormons attempt to discredit Joseph Smith with tales that he had tried and failed to walk on water.Mormons gave distinctive meanings to supernatural legends and events, but their narratives incorporated motifs found in many cultures. Many such historical legends and beliefs found adherents down to the present. This collection employs folklore to illuminate the cultural and religious history of a people.
