Fawn Mckay

Fawn Brodie McKay was born September 15, 1915, was raised in Ogden Utah. Born into the Mormon Church's very first family, Fawn McKay used her ingenuous literary talents and remarkable abilities in research to create the remarkable psycho-historical account of Joseph Smith, published in 1945 under the title No Man has My History. The title derives from the funeral sermons of Joseph Smith, the creator of the Church of Latter-Day Saints. The preacher shocked the audience when he said declaring: "You don't even know my name. I haven't even met the depths of my soul." My history is not known to anyone. There is no way for me to divulge it. Writes the 29-year-old Fawn after the moment when he spoke, more than three writers have been able to take on the challenge. Numerous have accused him of being a liar, and others have praised him, a small number have tried their luck at clinical diagnosis it is not so much that the documents are insufficient, however they are fiercely contradictory. The job of gathering these documents--of sifting first-hand account from third-hand and fabricated plagiarism, of putting Mormon as well as non-Mormon stories into a mosaic that makes credible historiography. This is a fascinating learning experience. Fawn brodie was professional and dedicated to this task. Thaddeus Stewards, the result of her work and research, made her a world known author. Scourge Of The South (1959) The Devil Drives. Thomas Jefferson. An intimate Historical Document (1974) and later posthumously Richard Nixon.
