Fawn Mckay

Fawn McCay Brodie was born at Ogden Utah September 15, 1915. Born into the Mormon Church's very first family, Fawn McKay devoted her brilliant writing talents as well as her remarkable researching skills in the creation of an amazing psycho-historical account of Joseph Smith, published in 1945 under the title No Man Knows My History. This title was inspired by an 1844 funeral sermon by The Church of Latter-Day Saints' founder. No one knows about my past. No one knows my history. The 29-year-old wrote Fawn in this moment of honesty, at least three-score writers have picked up the battle. A lot of people have detested him while some have praised. There are a few who have come to the diagnosis. It's not that documents aren't there, it's that they are so contradictory. It is a matter of separating the firsthand evidence from the third-party plagiarism and fitting Mormon-and non-Mormon-narratives into a cohesive mosaic of reliable historical facts. This is both exciting, as well as instructive. FawnBrodie was able to take on this expert project with gusto and enthusiasm. Thaddeus S. Stevens is immortalized in her writing and by the results of her studies. The Scourge of the South (1959) The Devil Drives. The life of Sir Richard Burton (1967) Thomas Jefferson. Richard Nixon, An Intimate historical account (1974) Posthumous.
