“Lamanites Were Spread Through the Wilderness”

Brant Gardner

Geography: We do not know when these Lamanites had been driven “on the east by the seashore.” What the Nephites hold is a mountainous region that does not reach to the west coast but which is protected on the west by a rough mountain range. On the opposite side, they hold a line that extends to another wilderness. The northernmost extent of Nephite lands is the land Bountiful.
