Fawn Mckay

Fawn McKay's Brodie was born Ogden Utah on September 15 1915. Fawn MCKAY, raised in the Mormon First Family of the Church used her literary talent and skills in researching to produce 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 was inspired by the funeral sermon given by Joseph Smith who was the founder of The Church of Latter-Day Saints. His audience was shocked by his declaring: "You don't even know my name. I haven't even met the inside of my mind." My past is not known by anybody. I am not able to tell you. me to reveal it. I wrote the 29-year old Fawn in that day of truth, about three dozen writers have taken up the gauntlet. Certain writers have honored and denigrated his character, whereas others attempt to identify the cause. There is nothing to suggest the case that there's not enough documentation instead, they're completely divergent. It's not an easy task to organize these records, to separate first-hand accounts from third-hand copies and then combine Mormon and non Mormon narratives together into an encapsulated mosaic. It is both exciting and interesting. It's a task which Fawn Brodie committed herself professionally. Thaddeus Stewards was the product of her research and writing led her to become a well-known writer. The Devil drives (1959). The Story of Sir Richard Burton (1967) Thomas Jefferson. An Personal History of Richard Nixon (1974), in posthumously.
