Fawn Mckay
Fawn McCay, born at Ogden Utah September 15, 1915. Fawn, a member of the Mormon Church's longest-running family, combined her literary talents and exceptional research abilities into a brilliant biography on Joseph Smith. No Man knew My History appeared in 1945. This title is taken from the funeral sermon delivered by Joseph Smith, the founding father of the Church of Latter-Day Saints. His audience was shocked by his telling his audience: "You don't even know my name. There is no way to know my heart." No man knows my history. Truth is I'm not even sure. Fawn (29 year old) wrote that since her moment of candor the three hundred and thirty writers have stood up to the occasion. A few people have even made an attempt to create a diagnostic diagnosis. The documents aren't insufficient however they do have a lot of contradictions. It's not an easy task to put together these documents by separating the first-hand versions from copies that are third-hand and integrating Mormon stories with other ones to form a cohesive mosaic. It is both interesting as well as fascinating. Such was the task to which Fawn Brodie put her professional energy into. Her writings and research earned her fame all over all over the globe: Thaddeus Stephens. The Scourge of the South (1959) The Devil Drives. Thomas Jefferson. The intimate Histories (1974), and Richard Nixon.
