Fawn Mckay

Fawn McCay, was born in Ogden Utah September 15, 1915. Fawn MacKay, born into the Mormon Church's founding family, used her astonishing writing skills as well as her impressive abilities to research in order to create the psycho-historical biographies about Joseph Smith. The book The book, No Man knows My History was published in 1945. The title was inspired by a funeral speech that was delivered by the Church of Latter-Day Saints founder Joseph Smith. In that sermon he declared: "You do not know the person I am, and have not seen my soul." No man knows my history. I don't know. Wrote the 29-year old Fawn at the time: Ever since the moment when he spoke, more than three writers have jumped on the battle. A lot of them have denigrated him and while others have glorified him. some have even tried their hands at diagnosing him. The problem isn't the fact that these documents lack information, it is rather that they are fiercely contradictory. The task of assembling the documents, of separating firsthand accounts from third-party plagiarism and integrating Mormon and non-Mormon accounts to create a picture that is plausible historical claims. The task is interesting and instructive. It's a task which Fawn Brodie committed herself professionally. Her research and writing immortalized her with worldwide fame. Thaddeus Stevens. "The Devil's Drive" (1959) The Scourge of South. Thomas Jefferson. An Intimate Historiography (1974) and posthumously Richard Nixon.
