Fawn Mckay
Fawn Brodie McKay was born September 15, 1915, was raised in Ogden Utah. Fawn, a member of the Mormon Church's oldest family, merged her writing expertise and impressive research skills into a brilliant biography on Joseph Smith. No Man Knew My History appeared in 1945. The title of this book was an inspiration for a funeral sermon given in 1844 by the Church of Latter-Day Saints founder Joseph Smith. In his sermon, he said: "You do not know the person I am, and have never seen my heart." Nobody knows my story. It's impossible to tell. Fawn an older woman, aged 29 wrote: "Since that moment of truthfulness, three or more writers have picked up the challenge." The documents do not lack however they contradict each with respect to each other. This is the task--sifting out first-hand testimony from third hand plagiarism and fitting Mormon-and non-Mormon-narratives into a cohesive mosaic of reliable historical facts. This is fascinating as well as an eye-opener. Fawn Brodie's professional life was devoted to this aim. Thaddeus Stewards, which was the product of her writing and research, made her a world known author. The Devil drives (1959). Thomas Jefferson. A Personal History of Richard Nixon (1974) as also posthumously Richard Nixon.
