Scope and Contents

Letters from members of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints commenting unfavorably about No Man Knows My History. The main objection seemed to be the evidence presented by Brodie of Joseph Smitn's polygamy, which their church denies. One member, C. J. Hunt, "age eighty-two," includes a pamphlet printed by him titled The Brodie Book, "No Man Knows My History," Exposed and Rejected. In another letter he alludes to the New York... State Penal Code and other laws dealing with "malicious publications."
