Fawn Mckay

Fawn Brodie McKay was born September 15, 1915 was a native of Ogden Utah. Fawn was a part of the Mormon Church's longest-running family, was able to combine her literary talents and exceptional research abilities into an outstanding biography of Joseph Smith. No Man knew My History appeared in 1945. The title of this book was in response to a funeral address that was delivered by the Church of Latter-Day Saints founder Joseph Smith. In that sermon he said: "You do not know the person I am, and have never seen my heart." Nobody has known about my past. The truth is, I don't know. Fawn 29, a woman of 29 years old, wrote: "Since that moment of truthfulness, three or more writers have taken on the task." There are some who have tried to make a clinical diagnosis. Documents do not lack, but they are contradictory. The process of assembling these documents, sifting through first-hand and third-hand sources and fitting Mormons' tales of the past to non-Mormons' into an authentic history - is challenging. This is both exciting, and it's enlightening. Fawn brodie was highly committed to the task. Her research and writing made her immortalized with world-wide fame: Thaddeus Stevens. The Devil's Drive (1959) The Southern Scourge. Thomas Jefferson. A personal biography of Richard Nixon (1974) as well as the posthumously Richard Nixon.
