Born into the Mormon Church's very first family, Fawn McKay directed her ingenious creative writing skills and impressive researching skills in the creation of an amazing psycho-historical account of Joseph Smith, published in 1945, entitled"No Man Knows My History. This title was inspired by an 1844 funeral sermon by The Church of Latter-Day Saints' founder. My story is not known to anyone. I am not able to tell you. me to tell you.
