Fawn Mckay
Fawn McKay was born in Ogden Utah on September 15 1915. She was a member of the Mormon Church's first family Fawn McKay was able to direct her innovative creative writing skills and impressive researching skills in the creation of an amazing psycho-historical account of Joseph Smith, published in 1945 under the title"No Man Knows My History. The title was an inspiration for a funeral sermon delivered in 1844 by Church of Latter-Day Saints founder Joseph Smith. In that sermon he stated: "You do not know the person I am, and have never seen my heart." Nobody knows my story. Nobody knows my story. Wrote the 29-year old Fawn in that moment of candor about three dozen writers have taken up the battle. There are some who have tried to make a clinical diagnosis. The documents aren't insufficient and contradictory. Assembling these documents - sifting through first-hand and third-hand sources and fitting the Mormons' stories to those of non-Mormons' into an authentic time-line - is a thorny task. This is fascinating as well as an eye-opener. FawnBrodie embraced this professional project with gusto and enthusiasm. Thaddeus S. Stevens is immortalized in her writing and by the results of her study. The DevilDrives. The life of Sir Richard Burton (1967) Thomas Jefferson. Richard Nixon, An Intimate history (1974) Posthumous.
