Fawn Mckay

Fawn McKay was born on 15 September 1915 in Ogden Utah. Fawn McKay, raised in the Mormon First Family of the Church, utilized her writing talent as well as skills in researching to produce the intriguing biographical psycho-historical study of Joseph Smith. Published in 1945 under the title of No Man knows My History, she used both. It was a title taken from a funeral address made by Joseph Smith. In it, he said: You didn't know me and you hadn't known my heart. My past is not known to anyone. I am not able to tell you. me to divulge it. I wrote the 29-year old Fawn: Since that day of truth, there have been at least three hundred writers who have stepped up to the plate. Numerous have accused him of being a liar, and others have praised him, a small number have tried their luck with a diagnosis made by a doctor. It's not the case that these documents lack it is rather that they are fiercely contradictory. It is a difficult task to put these pieces together in order to discern firsthand narratives from third-hand copies and then fit Mormon and non Mormon narratives together into one coherent piece. This is both exciting and instructive. FawnBrodie took on this professional challenge. Her research and writing rewarded her with the world's attention: Thaddeus Stevens. The Devil drives (1959). The Portrait of Sir Richard Burton (1967) Thomas Jefferson. The Personal Story of Richard Nixon (1974), after the death of Richard Nixon.
