Fawn Mckay

Fawn McKay was born on 15 September 1915 in Ogden, Utah. Reared in the Mormon Church's original family Fawn McKay devoted her brilliant creative writing skills and impressive research skills to creating the brilliant psycho-historical biography of Joseph Smith, published in 1945 under the title No Man is able to know My History. This title is taken from the funeral sermon given by Joseph Smith, founder of The Church of Latter-Day Saints. He shocked his audience by declaring: "You don't even know my name. There is no way to know my feelings." Nobody has been told about my story. I am not able to tell you. me to share it with you. The 29-year-old wrote Fawn at the time: Ever since this moment of honesty, at least three-score writers have taken up the challenge. The documents do not lack but they do contradict one the other. Assembling these documents - sifting through first-hand and third-hand sources and fitting Mormons' tales of the past to those of non-Mormons into a true history - is challenging. This is both exciting, as well as instructive. Fawn Brodie's life as a professional was committed to this cause.
