Fawn Mckay

Fawn McKay Brodie was born in Ogden Utah on September 15 1915. Fawn, a member of the Mormon Church's longest-running family, was able to combine her literary abilities and outstanding research skills into an outstanding biography of Joseph Smith. No Man Knew My History appeared in 1945. This title was inspired by the funeral sermon given by Joseph Smith who was the founding father of the Church of Latter-Day Saints. The preacher shocked the audience when he said saying: "You don't even know my name. There is no way to know the depths of my soul." Nobody knows my past. I am not able to tell you. me to share it with you. Fawn has written the 29-year-old Fawn. Since then, at least three writers have risen to this challenge. Some have rebuked him, while some have praised. A few have even made a diagnosis. Not that the documents aren't there, it's that they're so inconsistent. The task is to sort out first-hand testimony from third hand plagiarism and fitting Mormon-and non-Mormon-narratives into a cohesive mosaic of reliable history. It is both interesting as well as an eye-opener. Such was the task to which Fawn Brodie put her professional energy into. Thaddeus Stevens. Stevens was immortalized by her work and the fruits of her studies. "The Devil's Road" (1959) The Scourge of South. Thomas Jefferson. A Personal Historiography (1974) as well as posthumously Richard Nixon.
