Fawn Mckay
Fawn McKay was born in Ogden Utah on September 15 1915. Fawn McKay, raised in the Mormon Church's First Family, utilized her writing talent as well as skills in researching to produce an intriguing psycho-historical biography of Joseph Smith. Published in 1945 under the title No Man knows My History, she used both. This title comes from a 1844 funeral sermon preached by the Church of Latter-Day Saints' founder. My past is not known to anyone. Nobody knows my story. The 29-year-old wrote Fawn in that moment of candor more than three writers have taken up the gauntlet. Certain writers have deified and even abused his character, whereas others have tried to pinpoint the issue. The problem isn't the case that there's not enough documentation but rather they are wildly divergent. It's not an easy job to find these records and separate first-hand stories from copies that are third-hand and integrating Mormon narratives with non-Mormon ones to form a cohesive collage. This is exciting and also instructive. FawnBrodie was able to take on this expert project with gusto and enthusiasm. Her work in research and writing made her famous all over the world: Thaddeus Stephens. "The Devil's Drive" (1959) The Slaughter of the South. Thomas Jefferson. Richard Nixon and An Intimate Historical History (1974).
