Fawn Mckay

Fawn McCay Brodie, born at Ogden Utah September 15, 1915. Fawn was a part of the Mormon church's most prestigious family, merged her writing abilities and outstanding research skills into a brilliant biography on Joseph Smith. No Man was aware of My History appeared in 1945. This title was inspired by the funeral sermon delivered by Joseph Smith, creator of the Church of Latter-Day Saints. The preacher shocked the audience when he said telling his audience: "You don't even know my name. You have never known the depths of my soul." My past is not known to anyone. In reality that I'm not sure. I wrote the 29-year-old Fawn in that moment of candor about three dozen writers have jumped on the gauntlet. A lot of them have denigrated him and others have praised him, some have even tried their hands at diagnostics. It's not that documents are lacking however they're in complete contradiction. It is a daunting task to put together these documents--of sifting first-hand account from third-party plagiarism and integrating Mormon and non-Mormon narratives into a mosaic that makes an authentic historical claims. This is interesting and instructive. It's a task which Fawn Brodie put her professional energy into. Thaddeus Stewards was the outcome of her research and writing led her to become a well-known writer. The Devil drives (1959). Thomas Jefferson. Richard Nixon and An Intimate Historiography (1974).
