Fawn Mckay

Fawn McKay was born 15 September 1915 in Ogden Utah. Fawn is a member of the Mormon Church's oldest family, was able to combine her literary expertise and impressive research skills into an outstanding biography of Joseph Smith. No Man knew My History appeared in 1945. The title was an inspiration for a funeral sermon that was delivered by the Church of Latter-Day Saints founder Joseph Smith. The sermon said: "You do not know the person I am, and have never seen my heart." My past is not known to anyone. My history is not known by anyone. Fawn was a 29-year-old Fawn. From that point there have been at least three writers who have taken on the challenge. Many have abused him some have deified him; some have even tried their hands at diagnostics. It's not the fact that these documents lack information, the issue is that they're in complete contradiction. It is a matter of separating personal testimony from third party fraud and then blending Mormon and non-Mormon narratives into a cohesive mosaic of reliable historical facts. This is exciting as well as instructive. Fawn Brodie's career was committed to this cause. Thaddeus Stevens. Stevens was immortalized by her work and the fruits of her study. The Devil drives (1959). Thomas Jefferson. Richard Nixon and An Intimate Historiography (1974).
