Dr. Kimball received his PhD from Purdue University in 1999. His articles have appeared in the Journal of Sport History, Utah Historical Quarterly, and Mid-America, among others. Sports in Zion, his first book, was published by the University of Illinois Press in 2003. He is currently working on a book that examines the deaths of American athletes and how society "uses" those deaths.
