Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star (Established 1840), Vol. 70: Thursday, December 24, 1908
I now desire to draw your attention to a work published in London in 1833, written by C. Colton, on the origin of the American Indians. This book was published in London before any of our elders trod the soil of Great Britain. In this book it is stated that the Indians in Mexico asserted that a book was once in the posses sion of their ancestors which told them that the Great Spirit used to foretell future events to their ancestors, that angels had talked with them, that all the Indian tribes had descended from one man who had twelve sons. These Indian tribes also believed that the spirit of prophecy and miraculous interposition, once eu joyed by their ancestors, would yet be restored to them, and they would recover the book, all of which had so long been lost.
