Fawn Mckay

Fawn MCK Brodie was born on September 15th, 1915 in Ogden Utah. Fawn McCay was born in the city of Ogden, Utah in 1915. She was a member of the Mormon church's founder family. She employed her literary geniuses and extraordinary abilities to research in order to create the brilliant, psycho-historical, biographical work of Joseph Smith. It was published in 45, under the title, "No Man Knows My History". The title was in response to a funeral address delivered in 1844 by Church of Latter-Day Saints founder, Joseph Smith. In that sermon he said: "You do not know who I am and have never seen my heart." Nobody knows my story. It is not possible for me to reveal it. Fawn was a 29-year-old Fawn. From that point the three authors have stood up to this challenge. The documents do not lack, they just contradict each other. It's a daunting job to find these records, separating first-hand accounts from copies that are third-hand and integrating Mormon stories with other ones into a coherent mosaic. It's both thrilling, and it's enlightening. It's a task which Fawn Brodie devoted herself professionally. The fruits of her research and writing immortalized her with the world's attention: Thaddeus Stevens. The Devil drives (1959). Thomas Jefferson. An intimate Historiography (1974) as well as posthumously Richard Nixon.
