Fawn Mckay
Fawn Brodie McKay was born September 15, 1915, was born in Ogden Utah. Fawn MCKAY, brought up in the Mormon Church's First Family, used her literary talent and ability to research skills to compose the fascinating psycho-historical biographical biography of Joseph Smith. Published in 1945 under the title of No Man has My History, she used both. It's a name derived from an 1844 funeral eulogy that Joseph Smith delivered. He declared: You weren't aware of me or my heart. My story is not known to anybody. There is no one who knows my past. Writes the 29-year-old Fawn at the time: Ever since that day of truth, about three dozen writers have stepped up to the plate. Certain people have attempted to glorify him and others have accused him of being lying. Some even tried a clinical diagnosis. But the problem is the documents do not exist. They're contradictory. The job of gathering the documents, of separating firsthand accounts from third-party plagiarism that is able to fit Mormon and non-Mormon stories to create an assemblage that is credible historiography. It's both thrilling and educational. This is the kind of task to which Fawn Brodie devoted herself professionally. The fruits of her research and writing rewarded her with global fame.
