Fawn Mckay

Fawn McCay Brodie, birthplace at Ogden Utah September 15, 1915. Fawn MCKAY, who was raised in the Mormon Church's First Family, employed her creative talents and expertise in research to write the fascinating psycho-historical biographical biography of Joseph Smith. Published in 1945 under the title"No Man knows My History, she used both. The title comes from the funeral sermon delivered by Joseph Smith, creator of the Church of Latter-Day Saints. The preacher shocked the audience when he said saying: "You don't even know my name. You have never known my heart." My life story isn't known to anyone. It is not possible for me to share it with you. Fawn, a 29-year-old woman wrote: "Since that moment of honesty at least three scores writers have taken on the challenge." Many have abhorred him and others have glorified. A few have even made a diagnosis. Not that the documents are missing, it's that they are so contradictory. It's a daunting job to find these records, separating first-hand accounts from third-hand copies and fitting Mormon stories with other ones to form a cohesive collage. I find it both fascinating and an eye-opener. FawnBrodie embraced this professional project with gusto and enthusiasm. Thaddeus Stewards was the outcome of her research and writing led her to become a known writer. The DevilDrives. The Life of Sir Richard Burton (1967) Thomas Jefferson. A personal history of Richard Nixon (1974) as also posthumously Richard Nixon.
