Simon Wheeler is a garrulous, good-natured man found napping by the stove in the mining town of Angel’s camp, California. The narrator describes him as old, fat, and bald. He relates the story of Jim Smiley’s jumping frog to the narrator, blockading him aggressively in a corner. Wheeler speaks in a folksy vernacular slang dialect, telling colorful tall tales that likely stretch the truth.
