No Man was aware of My History appeared in 1945. This title is derived from a funeral speech delivered by the founder of the Church of Latter-Day Saints in 1844. He shocked the congregation with his words"You don't know me" I never told you about my heart. My past is not known to anyone. I can't tell. The 29-year-old wrote Fawn: Since this moment of honesty, more than three writers have picked up the challenge. There are some who have attempted to establish a medical diagnosis. Documents are not lacking, but they are contradictory. Compiling these documents - - sifting through first-hand and third-hand sources and fitting the Mormons' stories to those of other people's time-line - is a thorny task. This is both exciting, and also instructive. FawnBrodie took on this professional project with gusto and enthusiasm. Thaddeus Stevens.
