In his book Mormon's Codex, published by FARMS and Deseret Book, John Sorenson famously wrote,
"There remain Latter-day Saints who insist that the final destruction of the Nephites took place in New York, but any such idea is manifestly absurd. Hundreds of thousands of Nephites traipsing across the Mississippi Valley to New York, pursued (why?) by hundred of thousands of Lamanites, is a scenario worthy only of a witless sci-fi movie, not of history."
Mormon's Codex, p. 688.
Because we're not sure what he had in mind, we offer some variations on his theme.
Of course, there are many Latter-day Saints who think M2C is a witless sci-fi narrative, but people can believe whatever they want.
