Fawn Mckay

Fawn McKay was born 15 September 1915 in Ogden, Utah. Born into the Mormon Church's very first family, Fawn McKay devoted her brilliant creative writing skills and impressive researching skills in the creation of an amazing psycho-historical account of Joseph Smith, published in 1945, entitled No Man Knows My History. The title comes from the funeral sermon given by Joseph Smith, the founding father of the Church of Latter-Day Saints. The preacher shocked the audience when he said saying: "You don't even know my name. There is no way to know my heart." No one knows about my past. I'm not able to tell my story. Fawn, 29 years old, wrote Fawn has taken on the mantle of writing from that point on. There are some who have made an attempt to create a diagnostic diagnosis. The documents aren't insufficient however they do have a lot of contradictions. It is a difficult task to put together these documents by separating the first-hand versions from the third-hand versions and then combining Mormon stories with other ones into a coherent collection. It is both interesting and fascinating. Such was the task to which Fawn Brodie devoted herself professionally. Thaddeus Stewards was the outcome of her research and writing led her to become a known author. The Devil drives (1959). Thomas Jefferson. Richard Nixon and An Intimate Historiography (1974).
