Fawn Mckay

Fawn McKay was born on 15 September 1915 in Ogden, Utah. Fawn MCKAY, brought up in the Mormon Church's First Family used her literary talent and skills in researching to produce the fascinating psycho-historical biographical biography of Joseph Smith. Published in 1945 with the title:"No Man Knows My History, she used both. The title came from a funeral sermon delivered by the founding father of the Church of Latter-Day Saints in 1844 when he startled his listeners by declaring: You don't know me I never told you about my heart. My life story isn't known to anyone. Truth is that I'm not sure. Fawn 29, a woman of 29 years old, has written: "Since that moment of truthfulness, three or more writers have taken on the task." These documents are not lacking however they contradict each with respect to each other. The task is to sort out personal testimony from third party fraud and then blending Mormon and non-Mormon narratives into a cohesive mosaic of reliable history. This is exciting and informative. FawnBrodie embraced this professional challenge. Her research and writings earned her fame all over all over the globe: Thaddeus Stephens. "The Devil's Drive" (1959) The Southern Scourge. Thomas Jefferson. An Intimate Historical Document (1974) as well as posthumously Richard Nixon.
