Fawn Mckay

Fawn McKay's Brodie was born Ogden Utah on September 15 1915. Fawn MacKay was a Mormon from the Church of the Latter Day Saints' founding family was able to combine her writing skills with her impressive expertise in research to publish the dazzling psychohistorical biographical work, No Man is a Master of My History, which was published in 1945. The title was inspired by the funeral sermon of Joseph Smith who was the creator of the Church of Latter-Day Saints. Smith shocked his listeners by telling his audience: "You don't even know my name. There is no way to know my feelings." My history is not known to anyone. Nobody knows my story. The 29-year-old wrote Fawn: Since this moment of honesty, about three dozen writers have been able to take on the challenge. Many have deified and even abused his character, whereas others attempt to identify the cause. It isn't it's that the documents aren't sufficient, but they're rather divergent. It's not an easy task to put these pieces together and to distinguish first-hand stories from third-hand copies and then combine Mormon as well as non Mormon accounts together to form one coherent piece. It's a fascinating and instructive experience. Fawn brodie was professionally committed to this task. The fruits of her research and writing made her immortalized with world-wide fame: Thaddeus Stevens. The Scourge of the Southern (1959) The Devil Drives. Thomas Jefferson. The intimate Histories (1974) as well as Richard Nixon.
