Fawn Mckay
Fawn McCay Brodie was was born in Ogden Utah September 15, 1915. Fawn was a part of the Mormon Church's longest-running family, merged her writing abilities and outstanding research skills into an outstanding biography of Joseph Smith. No Man knew My History appeared in 1945. The title came from a funeral sermon given by the founding father of the Church of Latter-Day Saints in 1844. He shocked those he addressed with the words: You don't know me I never told you about my heart. My history is not known to anyone. I can't tell. I wrote the 29-year-old Fawn: Since the moment when he spoke, about three dozen writers have picked up the gauntlet. Certain writers have deified and even abused him, while others attempt to identify the problem. It isn't the case that there's not enough documentation but they're rather inconsistent. The process of assembling these documents, by sifting through third-party and first-hand sources, and integrating Mormons' tales of the past to non-Mormons' into an authentic historical context - can be a challenge. This is fascinating as well as an eye-opener. Fawn Brodie's career was dedicated to this goal. Her research and writings made her famous all over all over the globe: Thaddeus Stephens. Scourge of the Southern (1959) The Devil Drives. Thomas Jefferson. Richard Nixon, An Intimate history (1974) Posthumous.
