Fawn Mckay

Fawn Brodie McKay born on September 15th, 1915, was born within Ogden Utah. Fawn McKay, raised in the Mormon First Family of the Church made use of her talent for writing and skills in researching to produce the intriguing biographical psycho-historical study of Joseph Smith. Published in 1945 under the title of No Man has My History, she used both. This title is taken from the funeral sermon of Joseph Smith, who was the founder of The Church of Latter-Day Saints. The preacher shocked the audience when he said telling his audience: "You don't even know my name. You have never known my feelings." My story is not known to any one. It's impossible for me to reveal it. Fawn wrote the 29-year-old Fawn. Since that time, at least three writers have responded to the call. Some have attacked him, some have glorified him. A few have tried their hands at diagnosing him clinically. It's not because the records aren't complete, but rather they are fiercely contradictory. It's not an easy task to assemble these documents in order to discern firsthand narratives from the third-hand versions and combine Mormon as well as non Mormon narratives together into one coherent piece. It's exciting and educational. FawnBrodie was able to take on the task of professional success. Her work in research and writing brought her international fame: Thaddeus Stephens. The Devil Drives (1959) Scourge Of The Southern Thomas Jefferson. The Intimate Histories (1974) as well as Richard Nixon.
