Fawn Mckay

Fawn Brodie McKay born 15 September 1915 was born within Ogden Utah. Fawn MCKAY was brought up in the Mormon First Family of the Church, used her literary talent and expertise in research to write the intriguing biographical psycho-historical study of Joseph Smith. Published in 1945 under the title No Man Knows My History, she used both. The title comes from a funeral sermon given by the founder of the Church of Latter-Day Saints in 1844, when he shocked his listeners by declaring"You're not my friend, You've never met my heart. My history is not known to anyone. It's impossible for me to reveal it. Fawn published the words of 29-year old Fawn. Since that moment more than three writers took on the task. There have been attempts to portray him as gods and others have been accusing him of being an obfuscator. Many have even tried an invasive diagnosis. However, the issue is that there are no documents. They're contradictory. The task of assembling these documents--of sifting first-hand account from third-party plagiarism that is able to fit Mormon and non-Mormon accounts into the kind of mosaic that can be considered to be credible history. This is an exciting learning experience. FawnBrodie accepted this challenge professionally. Her research and writings brought her recognition around the globe: Thaddeus Stephens. The Devil drives (1959). The Portrait of Sir Richard Burton (1967) Thomas Jefferson. The Intimate Histories (1974) as well as Richard Nixon.
