Fawn Mckay

Fawn McKay's birthplace was Ogden Utah on September 15 1915. Her family was part of the Mormon Church's original family Fawn McKay used her ingenuous abilities in the field of literature and impressive abilities in research to create the remarkable psycho-historical account of Joseph Smith, published in 1945. The book was titled The Only Man has My History. The title comes from the funeral sermons of Joseph Smith, who was the founder of The Church of Latter-Day Saints. Smith shocked his listeners by saying: "You don't even know my name. I haven't even met my feelings." I don't know my history. I am not able to tell you. me to reveal it. Fawn published the words of 29-year old Fawn. From that point, at least three writers took on the task. A few have attempted to portray him as gods and others have accused him of being untrue. Some have even made an invasive diagnosis. It's because the documents don't exist. They're just inconsistent. The task is to distinguish accounts from third-hand plagiarization and to fit Mormons' stories with those of non-Mormons into the context of a credible historical narrative. It's both thrilling and educational. This is the kind of task to which Fawn Brodie committed herself professionally. The fruits of her research and writing made her immortalized with worldwide fame.
