Fawn Mckay
Fawn McKay Brodie was born in Ogden Utah on September 15 1915. Fawn McKay, born into the Mormon Church's First Family, 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"No Man Knows My History, she used both. The title was inspired by a funeral speech delivered in 1844 by Church of Latter-Day Saints founder Joseph Smith. In his sermon, he said: "You do not know who I am and have never met my soul." No man knows my history. I can't tell. Fawn (29 years old) said that, she has been honest since the moment she made her statement, three-hundred writers have risen to the event. The documents do not lack but they do contradict one the other. It is a matter of separating first-hand testimony from third hand plagiarism and fitting Mormon-and non-Mormon-narratives into a mosaic of credible history. This is fascinating as well as fascinating. Fawn Brodie's career was devoted to this aim. Thaddeus Stewards, which was the product of her research and writing, made her a world known author. The DevilDrives. Thomas Jefferson. Richard Nixon and An Intimate historical history (1974).
