Scope and Contents

From the Series: When this book was published in November 1945, it instantly aroused controversy. It has remained controversial to this day in both the state of Utah and the nation. Boxes 8-12 contain the only remaining materials relating to the book, its publication, and its aftermath. "Remaining," because the manuscript and research materials were discarded by Brodie (Brodie to Monsignor Jerome Stoffel, November 3, 1967, Bx 9, Fd 3). Box 8 contains notes used for the revised edition of 1971, various research materials, and book reviews. Also included is a signed copy of the second edition and a roll of microfilm pertaining to early church history. Box 9 contains pertinent correspondence. Box 10 is what Brodie called her "Mormon File," plus other materials dealing with the L.D.S. Church but not directly with No Man Knows My History. Boxes 11-12 contain a set of the History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, edited by B. H. Roberts, which were originally owned by Thomas E. McKay, Brodie's father.
