An examination of the North Americans of antiquity, from the aspects of archaeology, linguistics, geography, science, calendars, and religion.

A collection of newspaper articles, photographs, and related items that present an overview of the Book of Mormon, relate how it came forth, and conclude that Joseph Smith was not the author of the book but Sidney Rigdon used the Spaulding manuscript to lay the foundation of this “magnificent scheme” after hearing about Joseph Smith’s claim to have found golden plates.

In 1834 a man named Hurlburt asked for the manuscript for the purpose of making a comparison and the manuscript was lost.

A tendentious and sardonic but highly imaginative recounting of Joseph Smith’s life, including the events leading to the coming forth and publishing of the Book of Mormon. Entertaining mixture of fiction with fact.

Four-part series. For 120 years following the death of King Mosiah, the Nephites were under the rule of the Judges. Their rule was not always peaceful nor their government stable. There were internal as well as external enemies. Priestcrafts and corruption were introduced by Nehor, Amlici, Korihor, and others. The decline in Nephite morality led to the existence of the Gadianton robbers. Samuel the Lamanite preached repentance but few received his words.

Reynolds provides a chronological overview of the Nephite Chief Judges, as well as the historians who had custody of the plates. He then begins a summary of Nephite history during this time, beginning with the preaching of Nehor and ending with the rebellion of Amlici.

The long war caused by Amalickiah and his brother Ammoron is discussed, as well as the remarkable Nephites who rose up to combat their wickedness. The quick downfall in public virtue among the Nephites, leading to the rise of bands of the Gadianton Robbers, concludes the article.

Reynolds discusses the origins of the Nephite Gadianton band in the failed rebellion of Paanchi. Their crimes and violence over the years are discussed, as is the countering ministry of Nephi and Lehi, the sons of Helaman, in bringing thousands of Nephites and Lamanites to a knowledge of the gospel and an understanding of their duties. Wars between the Gadianton Robbers and the armies of the Nephites and Lamanites are mentioned, leading into the prophecies of the impending birth of the Savior, delivered by Samuel the Lamanite from upon the walls of the city of Zarahemla.

Reynolds discusses how the Nephites and Lamanites were able to outlast and overcome the armies of the Gadianton Robbers. Although peace reigned for a time, the government eventually collapsed under the actions of traitors and apostates who sought power, and the people reverted to tribal orders for protection. Among these, one Jacob – who styled himself a king and founded the city of Jacobugath – receives prominent mention. With this collapse, as detailed by Reynolds, the reign of the judges ended.
