Fawn Brodie McKay born September 15, 1915 was raised in Ogden Utah. Fawn MCKAY, born into the Mormon Church's First Family, utilized her writing talent as well as expertise in research to write the intriguing biographical psycho-historical study of Joseph Smith. Published in 1945 with the title: No Man knows My History, she used both. The title was inspired by a funeral speech delivered in 1844 by Church of Latter-Day Saints founder Joseph Smith. In that sermon he declared: "You do not know the person I am, and have never met my soul." My story is not known to anyone. I am not able to tell you. me to tell you. Fawn wrote the 29-year-old Fawn. From that point there have been at least three writers who have stood up to this challenge. The documents do not lack, they just contradict each with respect to each other. The process of assembling these documents, sifting through first-hand and third-hand sources, and integrating the Mormons' stories to those of non-Mormons' into an authentic history - is challenging. This is both exciting, and also instructive. Such was the task to which Fawn Brodie put her professional energy into. Her work in research and writing made her famous all over the world.
