Fawn Mckay

Fawn McCay Brodie, was born in Ogden Utah September 15, 1915. Fawn is a member of the Mormon church's most prestigious family, combined her literary abilities and outstanding research skills into an outstanding biography of Joseph Smith. No Man knew My History appeared in 1945. This title is taken from the funeral sermon of Joseph Smith, 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. There is no way to know my feelings." My story is not known to anyone. I'm not able to tell my story. Fawn 29, who was 29, wrote Fawn has taken on the mantle of writing since the day he began. Many have abused him while others have glorified him. Some have attempted to make a diagnostics. It's not the fact that these documents lack information, it is rather that they're wildly contradictory. It's not an easy task to put together these documents, separating first-hand accounts from copies that are third-hand and integrating Mormon stories with other ones into a coherent mosaic. This is both exciting and instructive. Fawn Brodie's professional life was devoted to this aim. Her research and writings brought her fame around the world: Thaddeus Stephens. The DevilDrives. Thomas Jefferson. An Intimate Historical Document (1974) as well as posthumously Richard Nixon.
