Fawn Mckay

Fawn Brodie McKay born September 15, 1915, was born within Ogden Utah. Fawn MCKAY, who was educated in the Mormon First Family of the Church utilized her writing talent as well as skills in researching to produce the intriguing biographical psycho-historical study of Joseph Smith. Published in 1945 under the title of No Man knows My History, she used both. The title comes from a funeral speech delivered by the founder of the Church of Latter-Day Saints in 1844. He shocked his listeners by declaring"You don't know me" You've never met my heart. Nobody knows my story. Nobody knows my story. Fawn 29, a woman of 29 years old, said: "Since that moment of sincerity, at the very least three writers have taken on the challenge." Some have attacked him, some have praised him, a small number have tried their luck at clinical diagnosis it is not because the records aren't complete, it is rather that they're wildly contradictory. It is a difficult task to put these pieces together, to separate first-hand accounts from the third-hand versions and put Mormon and non Mormon stories into the form of a cohesive mosaic. The process is thrilling and enlightening. FawnBrodie accepted this challenge professionally. The fruits of her research and writing rewarded her with the world's attention: Thaddeus Stevens. Scourge of Southern (1959) The Devil Drives. The Portrait of Sir Richard Burton (1967) Thomas Jefferson. An Personal History of Richard Nixon (1974), posthumously.
