Fawn Mckay

Fawn McKay's birthplace was Ogden Utah on September 15 1915. Fawn MCKAY, who was raised in the Mormon Church's First Family, employed her creative talents and expertise in research to write the intriguing biographical psycho-historical study of Joseph Smith. Published in 1945 under the title No Man knows My History, she used both. It was derived from the sermon title delivered by Joseph Smith in 1844. In the sermon, he shocked his hearers with the statement: You don't know me, and you've never listened to my thoughts. No one knows about my past. It's impossible for me to reveal it. Fawn, a 29-year-old woman wrote: "Since that moment of truthfulness, three or more writers have picked up the challenge." A lot of them have denigrated him and some have deified him; a few have attempted to make a diagnosing him. The problem isn't that documents are lacking it is rather that they're wildly contradictory. The process of assembling these documents, sorting through third- and first-hand sources, and integrating Mormons' tales of the past to other people's time-line - is a thorny task. It's both thrilling, and also instructive. FawnBrodie embraced this professional challenge. Thaddeus S. Stevens became immortalized through her works and the fruit of her studies. The Devil Drives (1959) Scourge Of The South Thomas Jefferson. The intimate Histories (1974), and Richard Nixon.
