Riassunto

Part I of this book gives an abridgment of the record of the prophet Lehi, which was the first book engraved upon the gold plates of the Book of Mormon. The original Book of Lehi, which was translated by Joseph Smith in 1828, was stolen and became lost from the Book of Mormon. Since that time they have simply been referred to as the lost 116 manuscript pages.This plain abridgment of the record of Lehi answers several questions about the origin of the Book of Mormon.

The author believes that he has discovered a simple and realistic answer to the question of the Book of Mormon geography.
