Fawn Mckay
Fawn McKay was born 15 September 1915 in the city of Ogden in Utah. She was a member of the Mormon Church's very first family, Fawn McKay devoted her creative literary talents and remarkable researching skills in the creation of a incredible psycho-historical biographies of Joseph Smith, published in 1945 under the title"No Man has My History. This title is derived from the funeral sermon preached by the founder of the Church of Latter-Day Saints in 1844 when he startled his listeners by declaring"You don't know me" You've never met my heart. I don't know my history. I'm unable to share it. I wrote the 29-year old Fawn after the moment when he spoke, at least three-score writers have taken up the gauntlet. Numerous have accused him of being a liar, and others have deified him; a couple have even tried their hand at clinical diagnosis it is not that documents are lacking it is rather that they're in complete contradiction. This task is to delineate the original account from third-hand plagiarization and to fit Mormons' accounts with other religions to create a mosaic of credible history. The process is thrilling and enlightening. This is the kind of task to which Fawn Brodie dedicated herself professionally. The result of her work and writing rewarded her with the world's attention: Thaddeus Stevens. The Devil Drives (1959) Scourge Of The South Thomas Jefferson. The Intimate Histories (1974) And Richard Nixon.
