Fawn Mckay

Fawn McKay was born in Ogden Utah on September 15 1915. Fawn MacKay, a Mormon member of the Church Latter-Day Saints' first family she paired her dazzling abilities in the field of literature and impressive researching skills to publish the dazzling psychohistorical autobiography, No Man is a Master of My History, which was released in 1945. This title is derived from a funeral sermon delivered by the founder of the Church of Latter-Day Saints in 1844 when he startled those he addressed with the words: You don't know me You've never met my heart. My past is not known to anyone. I'm not able to tell my story. The 29-year-old wrote Fawn: Since that day of truth, about three dozen writers have stepped up to the plate. Many have abused him some have glorified him. A couple have even tried their hand with a diagnosis made by a doctor. It's not the case that these documents lack but rather they're fiercely contradictory. This is the task--to separate the original account from third-hand plagiarism and to blend Mormon claims with the non-Mormons' in a mosaic of credible history. It's an interesting and educational experience. FawnBrodie accepted this professional challenge. Her research and writings brought her recognition around the globe: Thaddeus Stephens. The Devil drives (1959). Thomas Jefferson. A Personal Historical Document (1974) and later posthumously Richard Nixon.
