Fawn Mckay
Fawn MCK Brodie was born on September 15th, 1915 at Ogden Utah. Fawn, a member of the Mormon Church's longest-running family, was able to combine her literary abilities and outstanding research skills to create a stunning biography of Joseph Smith. No Man Knew My History appeared in 1945. The title was in response to a funeral address given in 1844 by the Church of Latter-Day Saints founder, Joseph Smith. In that sermon he declared: "You do not know the person I am, and have never seen my heart." My past is not known to anyone. It is not possible for me to share it with you. Fawn, a 29-year-old woman said: "Since that moment of honesty at least three scores writers have risen to the challenge." They do not have a lack of documents however they contradict each with respect to each other. This is the task--sifting out personal testimony from third party inconsistencies and integrating Mormon-related narratives into a mosaic of credible theology. I find it both fascinating as well as eye-opening. FawnBrodie embraced this professional challenge. The results of her study and writing immortalized her with world-wide fame: Thaddeus Stevens. The Devil drives (1959). Thomas Jefferson. The Intimate Histories (1974), and Richard Nixon.
