Fawn Mckay

Fawn McKay's Brodie was born Ogden Utah on September 15 1915. Fawn MCKAY was raised in the Mormon First Family of the Church made use of her talent for writing and research abilities to create the captivating psycho-historical biographical account of Joseph Smith. Published in 1945 with the title: No Man has My History, she used both. It was a title taken from a funeral address made by Joseph Smith. In it, he said: You didn't know me or my heart. Nobody knows my past. I'm not able to tell my story. Fawn, a 29-year-old woman wrote: "Since that moment of honesty at least three scores writers have picked up the challenge." Many have deified and even abused Fawn, while others attempt to identify the issue. It isn't the case that there's not enough documentation but rather they are wildly contradictions. It's difficult to organize these records in order to discern firsthand narratives from copies that are third-hand and combine Mormon and non Mormon narratives together into one coherent piece. It's both thrilling and interesting. FawnBrodie embraced this challenge professionally. Her writing and research brought her fame around the world: Thaddeus Stephens. Scourge of South (1959) The Devil Drives. The Story of Sir Richard Burton (1967) Thomas Jefferson. An Intimate Historical Document (1974) and a posthumously Richard Nixon.
