Fawn Mckay
Fawn Brodie McKay was born on the 15th of September 1915 was raised in Ogden Utah. Fawn MCKAY, who was brought up in the Mormon Church's First Family used her literary talent and expertise in research to write an intriguing psycho-historical biography of Joseph Smith. Published in 1945, under the name No Man is a Master of My History, she used both. The title was in response to a funeral address delivered in 1844 by Church of Latter-Day Saints founder, Joseph Smith. In that sermon he said: "You do not know what I'm about and you've not seen my soul." Nobody knows my story. I cannot tell it. I wrote the 29-year-old Fawn at the time: Ever since this moment of honesty, more than three writers have taken up the gauntlet. They do not have a lack of documents however they contradict each the other. Assembling these documents - by sifting through third-party and first-hand sources, fitting Mormons' narratives to other people's time-line - is a thorny task. I find it both fascinating as well as eye-opening. FawnBrodie dedicated herself to this job. The results of her study and writing immortalized her with worldwide fame. Thaddeus Stevens. The Scourge of the Southern (1959) The Devil Drives. Thomas Jefferson. The intimate Histories (1974), and Richard Nixon.
