Fawn Mckay

Fawn McCay, birthplace in Ogden Utah September 15, 1915. Fawn was a part of the Mormon Church's longest-running family, was able to combine her literary expertise and impressive research skills to create a stunning biography of Joseph Smith. No Man knew My History appeared in 1945. The title was in response to a funeral address that was delivered by the Church of Latter-Day Saints founder, Joseph Smith. The sermon said: "You do not know who I am and have never met my soul." Nobody knows my story. No one knows my history. Wrote the 29-year old Fawn in that moment of candor more than three writers have taken up the gauntlet. Many have abused him while others have glorified him. some have even experimented with clinical diagnosis it is not that documents are lacking however they are fiercely contradictory. Compiling these documents - - sorting through third- and first-hand sources, and integrating Mormons' tales of the past to those of non-Mormons into a true historical context - can be a challenge. is exciting and enlightening. FawnBrodie took on this professional task with enthusiasm and energy. Her writings and research made her famous all over the world. Thaddeus Stephens. Scourge of the Southern (1959) The Devil Drives.
