Fawn Mckay

Fawn McKay was born on 15 September 1915 in Ogden, Utah. Fawn MacKay was a Mormon member of the Church Latter-Day Saints' first family has fused her amazing ability to write and her remarkable abilities to research in order to create the incredible psychohistorical autobiography The book, No Man has My History, which was published in 1945. The title came from a funeral sermon given by the founder of the Church of Latter-Day Saints in 1844 when he startled the congregation with his words: You don't know me and you've never known my heart. Nobody knows my story. I cannot tell it. Fawn published the words of 29-year old Fawn. Since that time, at least three writers have taken on the challenge. Some people have tried to glorify him or godlike, while some have accused him of being an obfuscator. Many have even tried to make a diagnosis. The problem is that the documents do not exist. They're just inconsistent. The process of collating these documents--of sifting first-hand account from third-hand and fabricated plagiarism, of putting Mormon as well as non-Mormon stories into the form of a coherent history. It's a fascinating and instructive experience. Such was the task to which Fawn Brodie devoted herself professionally. Thaddeus Stewards, a result of her research and writing led her to become a well-known writer. The Devil drives (1959). The Life of Sir Richard Burton (1967) Thomas Jefferson. The Personal Story of Richard Nixon (1974), in posthumously.
