Fawn Mckay

Fawn Brodie McKay born on September 15, 1915 was a native of Ogden Utah. She was a member of the Mormon Church's original family Fawn McKay was able to direct her innovative literary talents and remarkable abilities in research to create an amazing psycho-historical account of Joseph Smith, published in 1945, entitled"No Man knows My History. The name was taken from the sermon title given by Joseph Smith in 1844, when he shocked his hearers with the statement: You do not know me and you've never listened to my voice. My history is unknown to anybody. Nobody knows my story. Wrote the 29-year old Fawn at the time: Ever since that moment of candor at least three-score writers have jumped on the battle. Many have abused him others have praised him, a few have tried their hands at clinical diagnosis it is not that documents are lacking it is rather that they're in complete contradiction. Compiling these documents - - by sifting through third-party and first-hand sources, fitting Mormons' narratives to non-Mormons' into an authentic time-line - is a thorny task. It is both exciting and informative. FawnBrodie embraced this professional project with gusto and enthusiasm. Her work in research and writing made her famous all over all over the globe: Thaddeus Stephens. The Scourge of Southern (1959) The Devil Drives. Thomas Jefferson. A Personal History of Richard Nixon (1974) as well as the posthumously Richard Nixon.
