The author has been blessed with great inspiration, whereby he has come to the knowledge of the truths revealed in this book. He does not claim any special intelligence or righteousness. He does claim that these things have become known to him by the spiritual gift of the word of knowledge. The author‘s purpose is to restore some of the lost record of the prophet Lehi, and also some of the geography of the Book of Mormon.view less
