Fawn Mckay

Fawn MCK Brodie was born on the 15th of September 1915 in Ogden Utah. Fawn, a member of the Mormon Church's oldest family, was able to combine her literary talents and exceptional research abilities into a brilliant biography on Joseph Smith. No Man Knew My History appeared in 1945. The title was inspired by the sermon title given by Joseph Smith in 1844. He amazed his audience with the statement: You do not know me and you have never heard my voice. No man knows my history. It's impossible to tell. I wrote the 29-year-old Fawn: Since the moment when he spoke, more than three writers have jumped on the battle. They do not have a lack of documents, they just contradict each with respect to each other. The task of assembling these documents--of sifting first-hand account from third-hand plagiarism of fitting Mormon and non-Mormon narratives to create a picture that is an authentic historical claims. This is exciting as well as instructive. Such was the task to which Fawn Brodie devoted herself professionally. Thaddeus Stewards was the outcome of her research and writing, made her a world known author. The Devil drives (1959). Thomas Jefferson. An Intimate Historiography (1974) and posthumously Richard Nixon.
