Walking on water : Joseph Smith, Jemima Wilkinson, and the folklore of religious imposture, 2006.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/367928727

Thayne examines the purported accounts of Joseph Smith, founder of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, as staging a walking-on-water demonstration as an act of his power as a Prophet of God. Through the following of many folktales and legends as recorded by those who lived in areas in question in the seventeen and eighteen hundreds, Thayne seeks to give these account a proper place as entertaining folk legends, as apposed to historical truth.
