Fawn Mckay

Fawn Brodie McKay born on September 15, 1915 was a native of Ogden Utah. Born into 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 was an inspiration for a funeral sermon that was delivered by the Church of Latter-Day Saints founder, Joseph Smith. In that sermon he declared: "You do not know what I'm about and you've not seen my soul." My history is not known to anyone. I cannot tell it. Fawn 29, a woman of 29 years old, said: "Since that moment of candor, at least three writers have picked up the task." A lot of them have denigrated him and some have deified him; some have even experimented with diagnosing him. The problem isn't that documents are lacking the issue is that they're in complete contradiction. It is a matter of separating the firsthand evidence from the third-party inconsistencies and integrating Mormon-related narratives into a cohesive mosaic of reliable history. It's both thrilling, as well as instructive. FawnBrodie took on this professional challenge. Her writings and research brought her fame around the world. Thaddeus Stephens. The Devil's Drive (1959) The Scourge of South. Thomas Jefferson. An intimate History (1974) and later posthumously Richard Nixon.
