Fawn Mckay

Fawn McKay was born on 15 September 1915, in Ogden Utah. Fawn McKay, brought up in the Mormon Church's First Family, employed her creative talents and skills in researching to produce the intriguing biographical psycho-historical study of Joseph Smith. Published in 1945, under the name"No Man is a Master of My History, she used both. That title was taken from a funeral sermon delivered by the founder of the Church of Latter-Day Saints in 1844, when he shocked those he addressed with the words: You don't know me I never told you about my heart. No one knows about my past. I cannot tell it. Fawn wrote the 29-year-old Fawn. From that point, at least three writers have taken on the task. Many have abhorred him and others have deified. A few have even made an assessment. Not that the documents are not there, but the fact that they're contradictory. Compiling these documents - - by sifting through third-party and first-hand sources and fitting Mormons' narratives to those of non-Mormons into a true historical context - can be a challenge. It's both thrilling and educational. FawnBrodie was a dedicated devotee to her profession. Thaddeus Steves became a global famous person due to the research she conducted and her writing.
