Fawn Mckay

Fawn McCay, birthplace at Ogden Utah September 15, 1915. Fawn was a part of the Mormon Church's oldest family, was able to combine her literary abilities and outstanding research skills into a brilliant biography on Joseph Smith. No Man knew My History appeared in 1945. That title was taken from a funeral sermon given by the founding father of the Church of Latter-Day Saints in 1844. He shocked those he addressed with the words: You don't know me I never told you about my heart. No one knows my story. I can't tell. Fawn wrote the 29-year-old Fawn. Since that moment there have been at least three writers who have taken on the task. A lot of them have denigrated him and others have praised him, Some have experimented with clinical diagnosis it is not that documents are lacking it is rather that they're wildly contradictory. Compiling these documents - - sifting through first-hand and third-hand sources, fitting the Mormons' stories to those of other people's historical context - can be a challenge. The task is interesting and instructive. Fawn Brodie's professional life was devoted to this aim. Her research and writing immortalized her with worldwide fame. Thaddeus Stevens. The Devil drives (1959). Thomas Jefferson. An Intimate Historiography (1974) as well as posthumously Richard Nixon.
