Fawn Mckay
Fawn McKay was born on 15 September 1915 in Ogden Utah. She was a member of the Mormon Church's very first family, Fawn McKay devoted her brilliant writing talents as well as her remarkable researching skills in the creation of an amazing psycho-historical account of Joseph Smith, published in 1945, entitled"No Man Knows My History. The title was an inspiration for a funeral sermon given in 1844 by the Church of Latter-Day Saints founder Joseph Smith. In his sermon, he declared: "You do not know the person I am, and have not seen my soul." No one knows about my past. Nobody knows my story. Fawn (29 years old) said that, she has been honest since the moment she made her statement, three-hundred writers have risen to the occasion. Many have abhorred him and others have deified. Few have made a diagnosis. The documents are not there, but that they are so contradictory. To assemble the documents -and separate the firsthand accounts from thirdhand plagiarism, and to then put Mormon as well as non Mormon narratives together into a credible mosaic is no simple task. This is exciting as well as informative. Fawn brodie was professionally committed to this task. Her work in research and writing made her famous all over the world. Thaddeus Stephens. Scourge of the south (1959) The Devil Drives. Thomas Jefferson. An intimate Historiography (1974) as well as posthumously Richard Nixon.
