Fawn Mckay

Fawn Brodie McKay, born September 15, 1915 was a native of Ogden Utah. Born into the Mormon Church's original family Fawn McKay devoted her brilliant literary talents and remarkable abilities in research to create an outstanding psycho-historical biographical biography of Joseph Smith, published in 1945. The book was titled"No Man is able to know My History. This title is taken from the funeral sermon of Joseph Smith, the founding father of the Church of Latter-Day Saints. He shocked his audience by saying: "You don't even know my name. It's been a long time since you've seen my feelings." Nobody has been told about my story. I can't tell. Fawn was a 29-year-old Fawn. Since that moment the three authors have risen to the task. Some have deified and abused him, while others have attempted to diagnose the cause. The problem isn't that there aren't enough documents but rather they are wildly contradictory. This is the task--sifting out the firsthand evidence from the third-party inconsistencies and integrating Mormon-related narratives into a coherent history. This is exciting as well as instructive. Fawn Brodie's career was committed to this cause. Thaddeus Stewards, the result of her writing and research, made her a world well-known writer. The Scourge of the Southern (1959) The Devil Drives. Thomas Jefferson. Richard Nixon and An Intimate historical history (1974).
