I don’t have the patience for RFM to listen to his podcasts or watch his YouTube videos, Or in other words you don't have the patience to collect and analyze the facts prior to another session of you bitching and complaining about what others might have to say. especially since he was so instrument...

Hi Shulem, What's the relationship between that graphic and the content of your post? Well, my dear Dr. Shades, lest I become board and disillusioned about what people might think of my opinions, it's necessary for me to get a good laugh, from time to time. And that graphic gave me a damn good laug...

It's hard to imagine Joseph Smith mistaking the gulf or a bay in the Red Sea for a river on a Laurie & Whittle map. I don't buy it! Please refer to the EXPLANATION in the lower right corner of the North America map in which Smith would have relied on as would any map user. Several symbols and explan...

And so, Vogel does provide an interesting perspective of a map that Smith may or may have not perused. We cannot say.
