Fawn Mckay

Fawn Brodie McKay born September 15, 1915, was born within Ogden Utah. Fawn MacKay, a Mormon belonging to the Church of Latter-Day Saints' first line of family she paired her dazzling abilities in the field of literature and impressive research skills in order to create the incredible psychohistorical autobiography The book, No Man Knows My History, which was published in 1945. The title was taken from a funeral address that Joseph Smith delivered. In it, he declared: You weren't aware of me and you hadn't known my heart. My life story isn't known to anyone. I'm not able to tell my story. The 29-year-old wrote Fawn at the time: Ever since the moment when he spoke, about three dozen writers have taken up the gauntlet. A lot of them have denigrated him and some have praised him, a couple have even tried their hand with a diagnosis made by a doctor. It's not so much that the documents are insufficient, however they're wildly contradictory. The task is to distinguish the original account from third-hand plagiarism and to blend Mormon accounts with other religions to create a mosaic of credible history. It's a fascinating learning experience. FawnBrodie accepted this professional challenge. The results of her study as well as her writing earned her world-wide fame: Thaddeus Stevens. The Devil Drives (1959) Scourge of the South Thomas Jefferson. An Intimate Historical Document (1974) and later posthumously Richard Nixon.
