Fawn Mckay
Fawn McCay Brodie was was born in Ogden Utah September 15, 1915. Born into the Mormon Church's first family Fawn McKay was able to direct her innovative literary talents and remarkable abilities in research to create an outstanding psycho-historical biographical biography of Joseph Smith, published in 1945 under the title"No Man knows My History. The title comes from the funeral sermon given by Joseph Smith, founding father of the Church of Latter-Day Saints. He shocked his audience by saying: "You don't even know my name. There is no way to know my heart." My history is not known to anyone. There is no way for me to reveal it. Fawn an older woman, aged 29 wrote: "Since that moment of candor, at least three writers have picked up the challenge." Some have tried to make a clinical diagnosis. The documents aren't insufficient however they do have a lot of contradictions. The task of assembling these documents--of sifting first-hand account from third-hand plagiarism of fitting Mormon as well as non-Mormon stories into a mosaic that makes plausible history. It is both exciting and informative. FawnBrodie dedicated herself to this career path. Thaddeus Stevens. Stevens is immortalized in her works and the fruit of her research. The Devil's Drive (1959) The Scourge of South. Thomas Jefferson. A Personal History (1974) as well as posthumously Richard Nixon.
