Doesn't this speak volumes?
Check out the sales ranks. Brodie left a nice financial legacy to someone.
http://www.amazon.com/Joseph-Smith-R...9159219&sr=1-2 http://www.amazon.com/No-Man-Knows-M...9159157&sr=1-1 7,211 is damn respectable for a history book published over 50 years ago. It means it's a classic. Battle Cry of Freedome is ranked 4,180, Guns of August 17,512, Rise and Fall of the Third Reich 13,523. Brodie and Stegner are Utah's two greatest writers and they get almost no respect in their home state.

No tears will be shed for Brodie on my part. I like Stegner's work. Brodie is boring and seems to whine too much, but that's just my opinion.
