Fawn Mckay

Fawn McKay was born on 15 September 1915 in Ogden, Utah. Fawn MCKAY was educated in the Mormon First Family of the Church, employed her creative talents and ability to research skills to compose the captivating psycho-historical biographical account of Joseph Smith. Published in 1945 under the title No Man Knows My History, she used both. That title was taken from a funeral speech delivered by the founder of the Church of Latter-Day Saints in 1844. In the sermon, he wowed his listeners by declaring"You don't know me" You've never met my heart. My history is unknown to everyone. I cannot tell it. Fawn an older woman, aged 29 has written: "Since that moment of candor, at least three writers have picked up the challenge." Certain people have attempted to make him god while others claimed that he is a liar. Some even tried to make a diagnosis. But the problem is there are no documents. They are just contradictory. The job of gathering the documents, of separating firsthand accounts from third-hand and fabricated plagiarism, of putting Mormon as well as non-Mormon stories into an assemblage that is credible historiography. This is both exciting and instructive. FawnBrodie accepted this challenge professionally. Her research and writings brought her fame around the world: Thaddeus Stephens. Scourge of Southern (1959) The Devil Drives. Thomas Jefferson. The intimate Histories (1974), and Richard Nixon.
