Fawn Mckay

Fawn McKay Brodie was born in Ogden Utah on September 15 1915. Born into the Mormon Church's original family Fawn McKay devoted her brilliant creative writing skills and impressive abilities in research to create the brilliant psycho-historical biography of Joseph Smith, published in 1945, entitled"No Man Knows My History. The title of this book was inspired by a funeral speech that was delivered by the Church of Latter-Day Saints founder Joseph Smith. The sermon declared: "You do not know who I am and have not seen my soul." My past is not known to anyone. It is not possible for me to share it with you. Fawn was a 29-year-old Fawn. Since that moment, at least three writers have risen to the challenge. A lot of them have denigrated him and while others have glorified him. a few have tried their hands at clinical diagnosis it is not that documents are lacking the issue is that they're in complete contradiction. It is a daunting task to put together these documents--of sifting first-hand account from third-hand plagiarism of fitting Mormon and non-Mormon accounts into a mosaic that makes credible history. This is both exciting and instructive. Such was the task to which Fawn Brodie devoted herself professionally. The results of her study as well as her writing earned her worldwide fame.
