Fawn Mckay

Fawn McKay Brodie was born in Ogden Utah on September 15 1915. Reared in the Mormon Church's very first family, Fawn McKay was able to direct her innovative literary talents and remarkable researching skills in the creation of a remarkable psycho-historical account of Joseph Smith, published in 1945, entitled No Man knows My History. That title was taken from the funeral sermon preached by the founding father of the Church of Latter-Day Saints in 1844. He shocked those he addressed with the words"You don't even know me." and you've never known my heart. My history is not known to anyone. I'm not able to tell my story. Fawn an older woman, aged 29 has written: "Since that moment of sincerity, at the very least three writers have picked up the challenge." Some have attacked him, some have praised him, a couple have even tried their hand in the field of medical diagnosis. It's not because the records aren't complete, the issue is that they're wildly contradictory. It's a daunting task to assemble these documents and to distinguish first-hand stories from those of third-hand sources and fit Mormon as well as non Mormon narratives together into an encapsulated mosaic. This is both exciting and instructive. Fawn brodie was professionally committed to her work. Her research and writings brought her fame around the world: Thaddeus Stephens. Scourge of the Southern (1959) The Devil Drives. The life of Sir Richard Burton (1967) Thomas Jefferson. The Personal Story of Richard Nixon (1974), after the death of Richard Nixon.
