Fawn Mckay

Fawn McKay was born in Ogden Utah on September 15 1915. Fawn MacKay was a Mormon member of the Church the Latter-Day Saints' original family has fused her amazing literary skills and impressive expertise in research to write the dazzling, psychohistorical autobiography of the author, No Man has My History, which was released in 1945. This title is derived from the funeral sermon preached by the founder of the Church of Latter-Day Saints in 1844, when he shocked people with a statement"You're not my friend, You've never met my heart. My life story isn't known to anyone. No one knows my history. Writes the 29-year-old Fawn at the time: Ever since that moment of candor at least three-score writers have been able to take on the challenge. Many have abused him some have deified him; a few have tried their hands with a diagnosis made by a doctor. It's not that documents are lacking the issue is that they're fiercely contradictory. It is up to us to separate the original account from third-hand plagiarization and to fit Mormons' narratives with non-Mormons in a coherent history. It's an interesting learning experience. That's the mission to which Fawn Brodie dedicated herself professionally. Thaddeus Stewards was the product of her research and writing was what made her a well-known author. Scourge of the South (1959) The Devil Drives. Thomas Jefferson. An intimate Historiography (1974) and posthumously Richard Nixon.
