13. Not only that, but much of The Book of Mormon was stolen from a book by Rev Solomon Spaulding
Edited on Tue Apr-01-08 12:22 PM by Taverner
Called "Manuscript Found!"

It never made it to print and was lost, and Spaulding died shortly after. As for the publisher, well he is one of the 13 'Witnesses' in the beginning of every Book of Mormon.

What is "Manuscript Found!" about, pray tell? Well its about a bunch of Israelites who go to the new world on Papyrus boats and create a new empire.
