Fawn Mckay
Fawn McCay Brodie, was born in Ogden Utah September 15, 1915. Fawn, a member of the Mormon church's most prestigious family, combined her literary abilities and outstanding research skills into a brilliant biography on Joseph Smith. No Man was aware of My History appeared in 1945. The title was inspired by the sermon title given by Joseph Smith in 1844, when he amazed his audience with the statement: You do not know me and you have never heard my heart. My past is not known to anyone. Nobody knows my story. Fawn (29 year old) said that, since her moment of candor Three hundred writers have responded to the occasion. The documents do not lack but they do contradict one the other. The task is to sort out personal testimony from third party fraud and then blending Mormon and non-Mormon narratives into a mosaic of credible theology. It is both interesting and eye-opening. Fawn Brodie's career was committed to this cause. The fruits of her research and writing immortalized her with world-wide fame: Thaddeus Stevens. The Devil Drives (1959) Scourge of the South Thomas Jefferson. The intimate Histories (1974) The Life of Sir Richard Burton (1974) and Richard Nixon.
