Fawn Mckay

Fawn McCay Brodie was born at Ogden Utah September 15, 1915. Fawn was a part of the Mormon church's most prestigious family, merged her writing expertise and impressive research skills to create a stunning biography of Joseph Smith. No Man knew My History appeared in 1945. That title was taken from a funeral speech delivered by the founder of the Church of Latter-Day Saints in 1844 when he startled his listeners by declaring: You don't know me I never told you about my heart. No one has ever heard of my life. It's impossible for me to reveal it. Fawn (29 year old) said that, she has been honest since the moment she made her statement the three hundred and thirty writers have stood up to the occasion. Some have attacked him, some have deified him; some have even tried their hands at clinical diagnosis it is not the fact that these documents lack information, however they're in complete contradiction. It is a daunting task to put together these documents--of sifting first-hand account from third-party plagiarism and integrating Mormon and non-Mormon accounts to create a picture that is plausible the history. This is exciting as well as informative. FawnBrodie devoted herself to the job. Thaddeus S. Stevens became immortalized through her writing and by the results of her research.
