Wilmer,

You are correct and the Brodie handling of three books she wrote are
well covered in a book. Absolutely no issue between the LDS and her
Jefferson book as you mention. She just had them all "in her sights" in
my opinion.

Herb,

Fawn Brodie was excommunicated in May 1946 from LDS, two decades before
her
psychobiography on Jefferson. There was no issue between the Church and
her
work on TJ.

...Fawn Brodie came along with her weird analysis and told the Eston
relatives that why should they cling to the long held belief that their
ancestor was "a Jefferson uncle", meaning Randolph Jefferson WHEN they
could claim THOMAS himself and since then this is what we have. They
even threw Fawn Brodie out of her LDS Church for degrading and painting
their founder in a bad light.........just as a similar approach of
T.....
