Febold Feboldson is an American folk hero who was a Swedish American plainsman and cloudbuster from Nebraska.[1] His exploits were originally published in 1923 in the Gothenburg Independent newspaper and the character is now largely considered a part of fakelore as opposed to a genuine folk hero.[2]
