Fawn Mckay

Fawn Brodie McKay, born on the 15th of September 1915 was a native of Ogden Utah. Reared in the Mormon Church's original family Fawn McKay devoted her brilliant creative writing skills and impressive abilities in research to create an outstanding psycho-historical biographical biography of Joseph Smith, published in 1945 under the title No Man Knows My History. The title came from a funeral sermon delivered by the founder of the Church of Latter-Day Saints in 1844. He shocked those he addressed with the words"You don't know me" and you've never known my heart. No one knows about my past. It's impossible for me to reveal it. The 29-year-old wrote Fawn at the time: Ever since that moment of candor about three dozen writers have taken up the battle. A lot of people have detested him while others have deified. There are a few who have come to a diagnosis. It's not that documents aren't there, it's that they're so inconsistent. It's not an easy task to put together these documents by separating the first-hand versions from the third-hand versions and then combining Mormon accounts with those of non-Mormon people to form a cohesive collection. This is fascinating and fascinating. This is the kind of task to which Fawn Brodie committed herself professionally. The results of her study and writing made her immortalized with world-wide fame: Thaddeus Stevens. The Devil's Drive (1959) The Slaughter of the South. Thomas Jefferson. A personal biography of Richard Nixon (1974) as also posthumously Richard Nixon.
