This article explores Fawn Brodie's argument against the reality of the First Vision in her biography No Man Knows My HIstory. It discusses historical evidence available from the 1820s and '30s as well as other analyses of Joseph's claimed vision. The author concludes that, while no sure conclusions can be drawn from Brodie's argument, her work was valuable in opening the door to in-depth historical studies of Joseph Smith's life and family.
