This title was inspired by the funeral sermon given by Joseph Smith who was the founder of The Church of Latter-Day Saints. His audience was shocked by his saying: "You don't even know my name. There is no way to know my feelings." Nobody knows my story. No one knows my history. Fawn an older woman, aged 29 wrote: "Since that moment of candor, at least three writers have taken on the task." They do not have a lack of documents however they contradict each the other. It's a daunting task to put together these documents by separating the first-hand versions from third-hand copies and fitting Mormon stories with other ones into a coherent collage. It is both exciting and informative. It's a task which Fawn Brodie put her professional energy into. Her research and writings earned her fame all over all over the globe: Thaddeus Stephens. "The Devil's Road" (1959) The Southern Scourge. Thomas Jefferson. Richard Nixon, An Intimate history (1974), posthumous.
