Fawn Mckay

Fawn McCay Brodie, birthplace at Ogden Utah September 15, 1915. Fawn, a member of the Mormon Church's oldest family, was able to combine her literary abilities and outstanding research skills to create a stunning biography of Joseph Smith. No Man Knew My History appeared in 1945. This title was inspired by an 1844 funeral sermon preached by The Church of Latter-Day Saints' founder. My past is not known to anyone. 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 taken up the battle. Some have deified and abused the man, and others have attempted to diagnose the cause. There isn't a problem the case that there's not enough documentation however they're wildly divergent. It's a daunting job to find these records and separate first-hand stories from the third-hand versions and then combining Mormon narratives with non-Mormon ones to form a cohesive collage. It's both thrilling, and it's enlightening. It's a task which Fawn Brodie put her professional energy into. Her research as well as her writing earned her worldwide fame. Thaddeus Stevens. "The Devil's Drive" (1959) The Scourge of South. Thomas Jefferson. A Personal Historical Document (1974) and later posthumously Richard Nixon.
