Fawn Mckay

Fawn McCay Brodie was birthplace in Ogden Utah September 15, 1915. Fawn McKay, brought up in the Mormon Church's First Family utilized her writing talent as well as research abilities to create the fascinating psycho-historical biographical biography of Joseph Smith. Published in 1945 with the title: No Man knows My History, she used both. The title was inspired by the sermon title that Joseph Smith delivered in 1844. In the sermon, he stunned his listeners with his words: "You are not my friend and you've never listened to my thoughts. My story is not known to any one. It's impossible to tell.

Certain writers have deified and even abused him, while others have attempted to diagnose the problem. The problem isn't that there aren't enough documents but rather they are wildly contradictory. The task is to sort out personal testimony from third party inconsistencies and integrating Mormon-related narratives into a mosaic of credible historical facts. It's both thrilling, and also instructive. Fawn brodie was professionally dedicated to the task. Thaddeus Steves became a worldwide fame due to her research and her writing.
