Fawn Mckay

Fawn McCay Brodie was was born at Ogden Utah September 15, 1915. Fawn MCKAY, born into the Mormon Church's First Family used her literary talent and skills in researching to produce the fascinating psycho-historical biographical biography of Joseph Smith. Published in 1945 with the title: No Man is a Master of My History, she used both. The name was taken from the title of a sermon given by Joseph Smith in 1844. In the sermon, he stunned his listeners with the statement: You don't know me, and you have never heard my voice. My past is not known to anyone. My history is not known by anyone. The 29-year-old wrote Fawn in the moment when he spoke, more than three writers have jumped on the gauntlet. Some have deified and abused his character, whereas others have tried to pinpoint the problem. The problem isn't because there's not enough evidence but they're rather inconsistent. Assembling these documents - sorting through third- and first-hand sources, and integrating the Mormons' stories to those of non-Mormons' into an authentic time-line - is a thorny task. It is both exciting and informative. FawnBrodie was able to take on this expert project with gusto and enthusiasm. Her writings and research made her famous all over all over the globe: Thaddeus Stephens. The DevilDrives. Thomas Jefferson. Richard Nixon, An Intimate historical account (1974) Posthumous.
