Fawn Mckay
Fawn McKay was born in Ogden Utah on September 15 1915. Fawn McKay, born into the Mormon Church's First Family utilized her writing talent as well as research abilities to create the fascinating psycho-historical biographical biography of Joseph Smith. Published in 1945 with the title: No Man Knows My History, she used both. That title was taken from a funeral sermon given by the founding father of the Church of Latter-Day Saints in 1844, when he shocked those he addressed with the words"You don't know me" I never told you about my heart. Nobody has known about my past. I'm not able to tell my story. Fawn was a 29-year-old Fawn. Since that moment there have been at least three writers who have taken on the challenge. Some have attacked him, some have deified him; a few have tried their hands at clinical diagnosis it is not just that the documents do not exist, but the issue is that they are fiercely contradictory. This is the task--sifting out first-hand testimony from third hand plagiarism and fitting Mormon-and non-Mormon-narratives into a cohesive mosaic of reliable historical facts. This is exciting as well as instructive. Fawn brodie was professionally committed to the task. Thaddeus Stevens. Stevens is immortalized in her work and the fruits of her research. The DevilDrives. Thomas Jefferson. Richard Nixon, An Intimate historiography (1974) The posthumous.
