Fawn Mckay
Fawn McKay was born 15 September 1915 in Ogden Utah. Fawn is a member of the Mormon church's most prestigious family, combined her literary talents and exceptional research abilities into a brilliant biography on Joseph Smith. No Man knew My History appeared in 1945. It was derived from the sermon title that Joseph Smith delivered in 1844, when he stunned his listeners by stating: "You don't know me, and you've never listened to my thoughts. Nobody knows my story. Nobody knows my story. I wrote the 29-year-old Fawn in this moment of honesty, at least three-score writers have picked up the gauntlet. There are some who have tried to make a clinical diagnosis. The documents aren't insufficient however they do have a lot of contradictions. The task is to sort out first-hand testimony from third hand fraud and then blending Mormon and non-Mormon narratives into a cohesive mosaic of reliable history. This is fascinating as well as an eye-opener. FawnBrodie took on this professional challenge. Her research and writing immortalized her with the world's attention: Thaddeus Stevens. The Devil Drives (1959) Scourge of the South Thomas Jefferson. An intimate Historiography (1974) and posthumously Richard Nixon.
