Fawn Mckay

Fawn McKay was born in Ogden Utah on September 15 1915. Fawn is a member of the Mormon Church's longest-running family, was able to combine her literary talents and exceptional research abilities into a brilliant biography on Joseph Smith. No Man Knew My History appeared in 1945. This title was inspired by an funeral sermon delivered by the Church of Latter-Day Saints' founder. There is no one who has ever been told about my story. It's impossible for me to reveal it. Wrote the 29-year old Fawn at the time: Ever since the moment when he spoke, at least three-score writers have picked up the battle. Some have rebuked him, while others have deified. There are a few who have come to the diagnosis. It's not that documents aren't there, it's that they're so inconsistent. The task of assembling the papers -- to separate first hand sources from a third-party plagiarism and to then put Mormon as well as non Mormon narratives together into a credible mosaic is no difficult job. It is both exciting and educational. This is the kind of task to which Fawn Brodie committed herself professionally. Thaddeus Stewards was the outcome of her research and writing, made her a world known author. The Devil's Drive (1959) The Scourge of South. Thomas Jefferson. Richard Nixon and An Intimate historical history (1974).
