Fawn Mckay

Fawn McKay's birthplace was Ogden Utah on September 15 1915. Reared in the Mormon Church's original family Fawn McKay directed her ingenious creative writing skills and impressive researching skills in the creation of an outstanding psycho-historical biographical biography of Joseph Smith, published in 1945 under the title"No Man Knows My History. The title comes from the funeral sermon delivered by Joseph Smith, founding father of the Church of Latter-Day Saints. His audience was shocked by his declaring: "You don't even know my name. You have never known the depths of my soul." Nobody knows my story. It is not possible for me to share it with you. Wrote the 29-year old Fawn at the time: Ever since the moment when he spoke, about three dozen writers have taken up the challenge. Some have attacked him, others have praised him, Some have experimented with diagnostics. It's not that documents are lacking however they are fiercely contradictory. The task of assembling these papers--of sorting first-hand information from a third-party copycatting of Mormon as well as non-Mormon stories into a mosaic that makes credible historical claims. It's both thrilling, and also instructive. FawnBrodie embraced this professional challenge. The results of her study and writing made her immortalized with worldwide fame. Thaddeus Stevens.
