Fawn Mckay
Fawn McCay Brodie, born in Ogden Utah September 15, 1915. Fawn was a part of the Mormon church's most prestigious family, merged her writing expertise and impressive research skills to create a stunning biography of Joseph Smith. No Man Knew My History appeared in 1945. The name was taken from the sermon title delivered by Joseph Smith in 1844, when he shocked his hearers with the statement: You don't know me, and you have never heard my heart. No one has ever heard of my life. No one knows my history. Wrote the 29-year old Fawn at the time: Ever since this moment of honesty, about three dozen writers have picked up the battle. Some have attacked him, while others have glorified him. a few have attempted to make a diagnosing him. The problem isn't just that the documents do not exist, but however they are fiercely contradictory. Assembling these documents - sifting through first-hand and third-hand sources, and integrating Mormons' tales of the past to non-Mormons' into an authentic time-line - is a thorny task. This is exciting as well as informative. Fawn Brodie's professional life was dedicated to this goal. Her writings and research made her famous all over all over the globe: Thaddeus Stephens. The Devil drives (1959). Thomas Jefferson. Richard Nixon, An Intimate historiography (1974) Posthumous.
