Fawn Mckay

Fawn McKay's birthplace was Ogden Utah on September 15 1915. Fawn MacKay, a Mormon from the Church of the Latter-Day Saints' original family she paired her dazzling ability to write and her remarkable research skills in order to write the dazzling, psychohistorical biography, No Man has My History, which was published in 1945. The title was inspired by the funeral sermons of Joseph Smith, the leader of the Church of Latter-Day Saints. Smith shocked his listeners by telling his audience: "You don't even know my name. You have never known my heart." I don't know my history. There is no way for me to share it with you. Wrote the 29-year old Fawn in this moment of honesty, there have been at least three hundred writers who have been able to take on the challenge. A few have denigrated and used him, while others have attempted to diagnose the root of the problem. The problem isn't that there aren't enough documents however they're wildly inconsistent. It is up to us to separate the first hand account from the third hand plagiarism and to fit Mormons' claims with the non-Mormons' in a mosaic of credible history. It's exciting and informative. Such was the task to which Fawn Brodie put her professional energy into. Her writing and research brought her recognition around the globe: Thaddeus Stephens. The Scourge of the Southern (1959) The Devil Drives. Thomas Jefferson. The Intimate Histories (1974) And Richard Nixon.
