Fawn Mckay

Fawn McCay Brodie was born in Ogden Utah September 15, 1915. Fawn was a part of the Mormon Church's oldest family, combined her literary abilities and outstanding research skills to create a stunning biography of Joseph Smith. No Man was aware of My History appeared in 1945. The title of this book was inspired by a funeral speech given in 1844 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 met my soul." No one knows about my past. I cannot tell it. Fawn, a 29-year-old woman said: "Since that moment of truthfulness, three or more writers have taken on the challenge." Some have deified and abused the man, and others have attempted to diagnose the problem. The problem isn't because there's not enough evidence but rather they are wildly contradictory. The process of assembling these documents, sorting through third- and first-hand sources, fitting Mormons' narratives to non-Mormons' into an authentic history - is challenging. This is fascinating as well as eye-opening. FawnBrodie took on this professional task with enthusiasm and energy. Thaddeus Steves became a global celebrity as a result of her research and her writing. The Devil Drives (1959) Scourge of the South Thomas Jefferson. Richard Nixon, An Intimate history (1974), posthumous.
