High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! No Man Knows My History: The Life of Joseph Smith (New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1945), by Fawn McKay Brodie, was the first important non-hagiographic biography of Joseph Smith, the founder of Latter Day Saint movement. The book has never gone out of print, and sixty years after its first publication, Knopf was still selling a thousand copies every year. On the fiftieth anniversary of its first publication, Utah State University issued a volume of retrospective essays about the book, its author, and her methods.
