Fawn Mckay

Fawn McCay Brodie, was born at Ogden Utah September 15, 1915. She was a member of the Mormon Church's very first family, Fawn McKay was able to direct her innovative literary talents and remarkable researching skills in the creation of the brilliant psycho-historical biography of Joseph Smith, published in 1945. The book was titled No Man knows My History. It was derived from the title of a sermon given by Joseph Smith in 1844. In the sermon, he amazed his audience with his words: "You are not my friend and you've never listened to my heart. My history is not known to anyone. In reality that I'm not sure. Fawn was a 29-year-old Fawn. Since then the three authors have taken on this challenge. Many have abused him some have deified him; a few have tried their hands at diagnosing him. The problem isn't that documents are lacking it is rather that they're in complete contradiction. It is a difficult task to assemble these documents and separate first-hand stories from copies that are third-hand and integrating Mormon accounts with those of non-Mormon people into a coherent mosaic. This is interesting and instructive. FawnBrodie was a dedicated devotee to her career path. Thaddeus Stewards, which was the product from her writing and study led her to become a well-known author. The DevilDrives. Thomas Jefferson. An Intimate Historiography (1974) and later posthumously Richard Nixon.
