You mean that unique 19th century literary creation of Joseph Smith purporting to be a translation into English of an ancient manuscript that tells us so much about the current religious and social controversies endemic to that part of New York, based then-current ideas of origins of American Indians, and which has zero archeological support except for those large portions that happen to be lifted almost in their entirety from the King James Bible (including KJV mistranslations of the Hebrew and Greek texts because the KJV translators were relying on defective manuscripts)?
