Fawn Mckay

Fawn MCK Brodie was born on the 15th of September 1915 at Ogden Utah. Born into the Mormon Church's first family Fawn McKay devoted her brilliant literary talents and remarkable research skills to creating the brilliant psycho-historical biography of Joseph Smith, published in 1945. The book was titled The Only Man Knows My History. This title comes from a 1844 funeral sermon by Joseph Smith, the Church of Latter-Day Saints' founder. No man knows my history. I'm not able to tell my story. Fawn (29 an age) wrote that since her moment of candor the three hundred and thirty writers have stood up to the event. They do not have a lack of documents however they contradict each the other. It's a daunting task to assemble these documents by separating the first-hand versions from third-hand copies and fitting Mormon stories with other ones into a coherent collection. It's both thrilling, as well as instructive. FawnBrodie was a dedicated devotee to her job. Her research and writing made her immortalized with world-wide fame: Thaddeus Stevens. The Devil Drives (1959) Scourge of the South Thomas Jefferson. Richard Nixon, An Intimate historiography (1974), posthumous.
