Fawn Mckay

Fawn MCK Brodie was born on September 15th, 1915 at Ogden Utah. Reared in the Mormon Church's original family Fawn McKay was able to direct her innovative writing talents as well as her remarkable researching skills in the creation of the brilliant psycho-historical biography of Joseph Smith, published in 1945. The book was titled No Man is able to know My History. This title was inspired by the funeral sermon of Joseph Smith who was the creator of the Church of Latter-Day Saints. He shocked his audience by telling his audience: "You don't even know my name. You have never known my feelings." No one knows about my past. It's impossible for me to reveal it. Fawn wrote the 29-year-old Fawn. Since that moment, at least three writers have taken on the task. A lot of people have detested him while others have glorified. A few have even made an assessment. The documents are not there, but that they are so contradictory. It's a daunting 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 collage. It is fascinating and informative. FawnBrodie embraced this professional challenge. Her research and writings earned her fame all over the world: Thaddeus Stephens. The DevilDrives. Thomas Jefferson. An intimate History (1974) and posthumously Richard Nixon.
