Fawn Mckay

Fawn McKay Brodie was born in Ogden Utah on September 15 1915. She was a member of the Mormon Church's very first family, Fawn McKay directed her ingenious literary talents and remarkable abilities in research to create the brilliant psycho-historical biography of Joseph Smith, published in 1945 under the title The Only Man Knows My History. The title was inspired by the title of a sermon that Joseph Smith delivered in 1844. In the sermon, he amazed his audience with his words: "You don't know me, and have not heard my heart. Nobody knows my story. In reality that I'm not sure. Fawn was a 29-year-old Fawn. Since then there have been at least three writers who have risen to the task. Some have attacked him, while others have glorified him. a few have attempted to make a diagnosing him. The problem isn't just that the documents do not exist, but the issue is that they're in complete contradiction. It is a daunting task to put together these papers--of sorting first-hand information from third-party plagiarism and integrating Mormon as well as non-Mormon stories into a mosaic that makes an authentic history. This is fascinating and educational. FawnBrodie embraced this professional project with gusto and enthusiasm. The fruits of her research and writing immortalized her with the world's attention: Thaddeus Stevens. The Devil drives (1959). The life of Sir Richard Burton (1967) Thomas Jefferson. A Personal History of Richard Nixon (1974) as and posthumously Richard Nixon.
