Fawn Mckay

Fawn Brodie McKay was born September 15, 1915, was raised in Ogden Utah. Fawn MCKAY was born into the Mormon Church's First Family, made use of her talent for writing and ability to research skills to compose the captivating psycho-historical biographical account of Joseph Smith. Published in 1945 under the title of No Man knows My History, she used both. The title derives from the funeral sermons of Joseph Smith, the founder of The Church of Latter-Day Saints. The preacher shocked the audience when he said declaring: "You don't even know my name. I haven't even met the inside of my mind." Nobody knows my story. I am not able to tell you. me to reveal it. Fawn wrote the 29-year-old Fawn. From that point, at least three writers have taken on the challenge. Some people have tried to glorify him while others accused him of being a liar. Some have even made a clinical diagnosis. But the problem is these documents are not real. They're simply contradictory. It is a difficult task to organize these records in order to discern firsthand narratives from copies that are third-hand and combine Mormon as well as non Mormon stories into one coherent piece. This is a fascinating and instructive experience. That's the mission to which Fawn Brodie dedicated herself professionally. Her research and writing rewarded her with world-wide fame: Thaddeus Stevens. The Devil drives (1959). The life of Sir Richard Burton (1967) Thomas Jefferson. An intimate The Story of Thomas Jefferson (1974) and a posthumously Richard Nixon.
