Fawn Mckay

Fawn McKay was born 15 September 1915, in Ogden Utah. Fawn MacKay, who was a member of the Mormon Church's original family, used her astonishing abilities as a writer and her formidable researching skills to produce the psycho-historical biographies of Joseph Smith. The book The book, The book, No Man knows My History was published in 1945. The title comes from the funeral sermon of Joseph Smith, founding father of the Church of Latter-Day Saints. His audience was shocked by his declaring: "You don't even know my name. It's been a long time since you've seen the depths of my soul." Nobody knows my story. I cannot tell it. Fawn wrote the 29-year-old Fawn. Since then the three authors have stood up to this challenge. Some have rebuked him, while some have praised. There are a few who have come to an assessment. Not that the documents are not there, but that they're so inconsistent. The task is to sort out first-hand testimony from third hand inconsistencies and integrating Mormon-related narratives into a mosaic of credible theology. It is fascinating and informative. Such was the task to which Fawn Brodie put her professional energy into. Thaddeus Stewards, which was the product from her writing and study, made her a world known author. The Devil drives (1959). Thomas Jefferson. The intimate Histories (1974) The Life of Sir Richard Burton (1974) and Richard Nixon.
