Fawn Mckay

Fawn MCK Brodie was born 15th September 1915 at Ogden Utah. Reared in the Mormon Church's first family Fawn McKay devoted her brilliant creative writing skills and impressive research skills to creating the brilliant psycho-historical biography of Joseph Smith, published in 1945, entitled No Man knows My History. This title was inspired by the funeral sermon of Joseph Smith, the founder of The Church of Latter-Day Saints. He shocked his audience by telling his audience: "You don't even know my name. There is no way to know my feelings." Nobody knows my past. No one knows my history. The 29-year-old wrote Fawn: Since that moment of candor at least three-score writers have jumped on the challenge. There are some who have tried to make a clinical diagnosis. Documents are not lacking however they do have a lot of contradictions. To assemble the documents -and separate the firsthand sources from a third-party plagiarism and to then put Mormon as well as non Mormon narratives together into an authentic mosaic, is not an difficult task. It is fascinating and informative. FawnBrodie devoted herself to the job. The results of her study as well as her writing earned her the world's attention: Thaddeus Stevens. The Devil Drives (1959) Scourge Of The Southern Thomas Jefferson. The Intimate Histories (1974) The Life of Sir Richard Burton (1974) and Richard Nixon.
