What do we know about the place where Lachoneus gathered his people?

Thomas R. Valletta

“Northward, beyond the borders of the land of Zarahemla, lay an unnamed ‘land which was between the land Zarahemla and the land Bountiful.’ The place is mentioned only in 3 Nephi 3:23. (The line containing these words was omitted from the printed text for many years, apparently because of a typesetter’s error, but has been replaced in the 1981 edition of the Book of Mormon.) The land of Bountiful as a whole seems to have been quite narrow, since Alma 22:31–33 describes it mostly as a zone that ran across the narrow neck of land. Little more is said about it” (Sorenson, Ancient American Setting, 12).
