Any big shot calling himself a Prophet, Seer and Revelator should be able to get all the answers rather easily. Little Joey forgot to ask where those BOM places were. Like Obama he was a Messiah in his own mind.
By the way, this version by Nina Simone is Obambi perfect. PC lefties always care more than we do.

Ya think?
"Joseph; I advise you not to go to that jail."
"Darn gnats!!"
"Joseph; I'm telling you to not to go to that jail."
"Flies are BAD today!!"
"Joseph; It ain't gonna be pretty if you ignore me and go to that jail!"
"Crummy mosquitos are EVERYWHERE!!!"
"Joseph! Do NOT go to that jail!"
"And those bedbugs really savaged me last night, too!"
"JOSEPH!! Wake up boy! Do Not Go To That JAIL!!!"
"All right Sheriff - here I am, so give me a nice room while my Lawyer, my Advocate, my Comforter presents the LAW to the Judge and I am VINDICATED!!!"

Anti-Mormon legend has it that when the Elders caught Joe smoking and drinking, he is reputed to have said something like, "Boys, I am a Prophet, I ain't a Saint!" Perhaps he should have added, ".....Geographer, Archaeologist, or Scientist!"
And he certainly was not. However, the MesoAmerican cultures abounded throughout North and South America. The tantalizing traces are there. When Smith was coming up, Americans were fascinated by the civilizations that were so old that not even the Indians knew anything about them, except perhaps in very vague legends and oral histories, transmitted down through the centuries. We still know very little about the subject.
For example, there are various schools of thoughts on when and where the hemisphere was first inhabited, ranging all over the map and from 7-25,000 years ago! I ain't no pal of Joseph Smith, but I am definitely cutting Old Joe all possible slack on this particular subject ... and wish all of my Mormon friends debating the various controversies good luck and thanks for looking in to it.
