Fawn McKay Brodie was born in Ogden Utah on September 15 1915. Fawn was a part of the Mormon Church's oldest family, merged her writing talents and exceptional research abilities into an outstanding biography of Joseph Smith. No Man knew My History appeared in 1945. This title was inspired by the funeral sermon of Joseph Smith, founder of The Church of Latter-Day Saints. He shocked his audience by declaring: "You don't even know my name. It's been a long time since you've seen my feelings." Nobody knows my story. In reality that I'm not sure. Fawn (29 years old) wrote that since her moment of candor Three hundred writers have responded to the event. They do not have a lack of documents but they do contradict one the other. The task of assembling these papers--of sorting first-hand information from third-hand plagiarism of fitting Mormon and non-Mormon accounts to create a picture that is an authentic historical claims. It is both exciting and instructive. FawnBrodie embraced this professional challenge. Thaddeus S. Stevens is immortalized in her work and the fruits of her research. The DevilDrives. Thomas Jefferson. A Personal History (1974) and later posthumously Richard Nixon.
