Fawn Mckay

Fawn McCay, birthplace in Ogden Utah September 15, 1915. Fawn MCKAY, who was raised in the Mormon Church's First Family utilized her writing talent as well as skills in researching to produce the fascinating psycho-historical biographical biography of Joseph Smith. Published in 1945, under the name"No Man knows My History, she used both. The title was inspired by the title of a sermon given by Joseph Smith in 1844. He stunned his listeners with his words: "You do not know me and you have never heard my voice. My history is unknown to anybody. No one knows my history. Fawn has written the 29-year-old Fawn. Since that moment, at least three writers have risen to the task. Some have attacked him, some have deified him; some have even attempted to make a diagnostics. It's not that documents are lacking the issue is that they are fiercely contradictory. Assembling these documents - sorting through third- and first-hand sources, and integrating Mormons' narratives to other people's history - is challenging. I find it both fascinating and fascinating. FawnBrodie took on this professional task with enthusiasm and energy. Her research as well as her writing earned her the world's attention: Thaddeus Stevens. The DevilDrives. Thomas Jefferson. Richard Nixon, An Intimate historiography (1974) The posthumous.
