Fawn Mckay

Fawn Brodie McKay was born on September 15, 1915 was a native of Ogden Utah. Fawn McCay was born the city of Ogden, Utah in 1915. She was a member of the Mormon church's founding family. She employed her creative writing talents and exceptional research skills to write the brilliant, psycho-historical, biography of Joseph Smith. It was published in 45, under the title, "No Man Knows My History". This title is derived from a funeral sermon delivered by the founder of the Church of Latter-Day Saints in 1844, when he shocked his listeners by declaring"You don't even know me." I never told you about my heart. Nobody has known about my past. I'm not able to tell my story. Fawn 29, a woman of 29 years old, has written: "Since that moment of honesty at least three scores writers have picked up the task." They do not have a lack of documents however they contradict each other. It's a daunting job to find these records, separating first-hand accounts from the third-hand versions and then combining Mormon accounts with those of non-Mormon people into a coherent mosaic. It's both thrilling, and it's enlightening. Such was the task to which Fawn Brodie devoted herself professionally. The fruits of her research and writing immortalized her with the world's attention: Thaddeus Stevens. The Devil Drives (1959) Scourge Of The South Thomas Jefferson. The Intimate Histories (1974) as well as Richard Nixon.
