Fawn Mckay

Fawn McKay was born in Ogden Utah on September 15 1915. Fawn MacKay who was a Mormon who was part of the Church of Latter-Day Saints' first line of family was able to combine her abilities in the field of literature and impressive researching skills to produce the brilliant, psychohistorical biography, No Man knows My History, which was published in 1945. This title is taken from the funeral sermon of Joseph Smith, who was the leader of the Church of Latter-Day Saints. Smith shocked his listeners by telling his audience: "You don't even know my name. I haven't even met my heart." My past is not known by everyone. No one knows my history. Fawn published the words of 29-year old Fawn. Since that time the three authors have responded to the call. Some have attacked him, some even deified him. While a couple have even tried their hand in the field of medical diagnosis. It's not the case that these documents lack but rather they are fiercely contradictory. It is up to us to separate accounts from third-hand plagiarization and to blend Mormon accounts with other religions to create the context of a credible historical narrative. It's an interesting and educational experience. Fawn brodie was a professional dedicated to her work. Her writings and research helped bring fame throughout the world: Thaddeus Stephens. The Devil Drives (1959) Scourge Of the South The Life of Sir Richard Burton (1967) Thomas Jefferson. An intimate History (1974) and a posthumously Richard Nixon.
