Abstract

Ricks writes of various external evidences of the Book of Mormon that Joseph Smith, according to Ricks, would not have been aware of. He mentions the great ruins that have been discovered in Central and South America, evidence of iron, wool, cement, elephants, and domesticated horses, ox, sheep, and swine.
