Fawn Mckay
Fawn McCay Brodie was was born in Ogden Utah September 15, 1915. She was a member of the Mormon Church's first family Fawn McKay directed her ingenious creative writing skills and impressive researching skills in the creation of an amazing psycho-historical account of Joseph Smith, published in 1945, entitled The Only Man Knows My History. The title of this book was an inspiration for a funeral sermon that was delivered by the Church of Latter-Day Saints founder Joseph Smith. In his sermon, he said: "You do not know the person I am, and have never seen my heart." My history is unknown to anybody. I am not able to tell you. me to tell you. Fawn was a 29-year-old Fawn. Since then, at least three writers have risen to this challenge. Some have attacked him, others have praised him, Some have tried their hands at diagnostics. It's not that documents are lacking it is rather that they are fiercely contradictory. The task is to sort out personal testimony from third party inconsistencies and integrating Mormon-related narratives into a mosaic of credible theology. This is both exciting, and also instructive. Such was the task to which Fawn Brodie committed herself professionally. The results of her study and writing made her immortalized with world-wide fame: Thaddeus Stevens. The Devil Drives (1959) Scourge Of The South The Story of Sir Richard Burton (1967) Thomas Jefferson. An Intimate Historical Document (1974) as well as posthumously Richard Nixon.
