Fawn Mckay
Fawn Brodie McKay was born on the 15th of September 1915 was raised in Ogden Utah. She was a member of the Mormon Church's original family Fawn McKay was able to direct her innovative literary talents and remarkable research skills to creating an outstanding psycho-historical biographical biography of Joseph Smith, published in 1945, entitled The Only Man Knows My History. It was derived from the sermon title given by Joseph Smith in 1844. In the sermon, he stunned his listeners with the statement: You do not know me and have not heard my thoughts. No one has ever been told about my story. No one knows my history. Fawn 29, a woman of 29 years old, said: "Since that moment of honesty at least three scores writers have risen to the challenge." These documents are not lacking but they do contradict one other. Assembling these documents - sorting through third- and first-hand sources, fitting Mormons' tales of the past to non-Mormons' into an authentic time-line - is a thorny task. This is exciting as well as instructive. Fawn Brodie's professional life was dedicated to this goal. Her writings and research earned her fame all over the world: Thaddeus Stephens. The Devil drives (1959). Thomas Jefferson. Richard Nixon and An Intimate historical history (1974).
