Jim Jones was born in the small town of Crete, Indiana, on May 13, 1931. Since his father James had been injured in World War Iand was unable to work, Jim's mother Lynetta supported the family. Neighbors considered the family a little odd. Childhood playmates remember Jim holding mock church services in his home, many of which were funeral services...
While working in a hospital as a teenager, Jones met Marceline Baldwin. The two were married in June 1949. Despite an extremely difficult marriage, Marceline stayed with Jones until the end. Jones and Marceline had one child together and adopted several children of various ethnicities. Jones was proud of his "rainbow family" and urged others to ado...
Jones soon began preaching specifically to African-Americans, whom he most wanted to help. He often used "healing" rituals to attract new followers. These highly staged events claimed to heal people's illnesses—anything from eye problems to heart disease. Within two years, Jones had enough followers to start his own church. By selling imported monk...
Founded in 1956 by Jim Jones, the Peoples Temple started in Indianapolis, Indiana as a racially integrated church that focused on helping people in need. At a time when most churches were segregated, the Peoples Temple offered a very different, utopian view of what society could become. Jones was the leader of the church. He was a charismatic man w...

When an investigation into his healing rituals was about to begin, Jones decided it was time to move. In 1966, Jones moved the Peoples Temple to Redwood Valley, California, a small town just north of Ukiah in the northern part of the state. Jones p...

After the move to California, Jones changed the tenor of the Peoples Temple from religious to political, with a strong communistbent. Members at the...
Once Jones had convinced many of the Peoples Temple members to move to what was supposed to be a utopian commune in the jungles of Guyana, Jones's control over his members became extreme. It was apparent to many that there was no escape from Jones's control; this control was leveraged, in part, by his use of mind-altering drugs to manage his follow...
While most of his followers (including children) died from being forced at gunpoint to drink cyanide-laced grape punch, Jim Jones died on the same day (November 18, 1978) of a gunshot wound to the head. It is still unclear whether or not it was self-inflicted.
Jones and the Peoples Temple have been the subject of many books, articles, documentaries, songs, poems, and movies about the events in Jonestown, Guyana. The event also gave rise to the expression "drinking the Kool-Aid," meaning "believing in a flawed and potentially dangerous idea;" this phrase derives from the deaths of so many Peoples Temple m...
