Sanpete Tales: Humorous Folklore From Central Utah

Folklore
Scandinavian Americans--Utah--Sanpete County--Folklore; Mormons--Utah--Sanpete County--Folklore; Tales--Utah--Sanpete County; humor
These are not traditional pioneer stories. Rather, they are the collected folk humor of the Scandinavian immigrants of Sanpete County, Utah. They provide a peek at the humanity of the people who helped build the West, as if a comedian were cast in the lead in John Wayne's place. The tales are straightforward and simple, loaded with broad, earthy humor and topped with dry wit.
