Fawn Mckay

Fawn Brodie McKay, who was born on September 15th, 1915, was born within Ogden Utah. Reared in the Mormon Church's first family Fawn McKay was able to direct her innovative talent for writing and her impressive abilities in research to create the remarkable psycho-historical account of Joseph Smith, published in 1945. It was entitled: The Only Man has My History. The title comes from a funeral speech delivered by the founding father of the Church of Latter-Day Saints in 1844 when he startled people with a statement"You don't even know me." you never knew my heart. My history is unknown to anybody. Nobody knows my story. Fawn, a 29-year-old woman said: "Since that moment of sincerity, at the very least three writers have taken on the challenge." Certain people have attempted to portray him as gods and others have accused him of being an obfuscator. A few even attempted a clinical diagnosis. It's because there are no documents. They're contradictory. The job of gathering these papers--of sorting first-hand information from second-hand plagiarism and fitting Mormon and non-Mormon stories to create an assemblage that is credible historical claims. It's exciting and educational. FawnBrodie was able to take on this challenge professionally. Thaddeus Stewards, the result of her research and writing was what made her a famous writer. Scourge Of The Southern (1959) The Devil Drives. Thomas Jefferson. An intimate Historiography (1974) as well as posthumously Richard Nixon.
