Fawn Mckay
Fawn McCay Brodie, was born at Ogden Utah September 15, 1915. Born into the Mormon Church's very first family, Fawn McKay devoted her brilliant creative writing skills and impressive abilities in research to create the brilliant psycho-historical biography of Joseph Smith, published in 1945, entitled"No Man is able to know My History. The title came from a funeral speech delivered by the founding father of the Church of Latter-Day Saints in 1844. He shocked the congregation with his words"You don't even know me." I never told you about my heart. No man knows my history. My history is not known by anyone. The 29-year-old wrote Fawn at the time: Ever since the moment when he spoke, at least three-score writers have taken up the gauntlet. Some have attacked him, while others have glorified him. Some have tried their hands at diagnostics. It's not just that the documents do not exist, but the issue is that they're wildly contradictory. The task of assembling the papers -in order to distinguish first-hand sources from a third-party plagiarism and then fit Mormon as well as non Mormon accounts together into an authentic mosaic, is not an simple task. I find it both fascinating and eye-opening. Fawn brodie was highly committed to her work. Her writings and research earned her fame all over the world: Thaddeus Stephens. The Scourge of south (1959) The Devil Drives. The Story of Sir Richard Burton (1967) Thomas Jefferson. Richard Nixon, An Intimate historiography (1974) Posthumous.
