Book of Mormon Geography
Battery Low.
Men like John Sorenson (sp?) and Larry cannot prove with any Geography that Jesus appeared to the Nephite's or that He died for our sins. However, they can give us a reasonable idea of where and when their story took place.
There are some problems of Larry's model if the "Loose" translation theory is correct. The issue lies in Joseph's possible translation of the directions, e.g. North, South, East, and West, in the modern usage of the words, or he may have translated the directions according to the Nephite's use of the words to express their own unique orientation to their surroundings

Comments of the "Lamanite" are not official statements of the Church. But even if they were official statements or publications of the Church, they wouldn't necessarily be Doctrine, now would they?
