Curious how these stories aligned with the mo'pologetic front, I went straight to the Book of Mormon stories page.
The first section "How We Got the Book of Mormon" could have been written by Brother Meldrum himself, at least the last part:
The book is called the Book of Mormon. It tells about people who lived in America many years ago. It also tells about Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
So there you have it. LDS Inc starts teaching the same Book of Mormon geographic theories as Brother Meldrum in early formative years of a child's life. Is it any wonder why the adult members accept Meldrum's ideas over the plausible BS from Fair/Farms/MI? . . .

Somehow I doubt this cartoon for kids was meant to present precise geographical arguments.
One moment in annihilation's waste, one moment, of the well of life to taste- The stars are setting and the caravan starts for the dawn of nothing; Oh, make haste! -Omar Khayaam

Great catch and excellent point.

America can mean South America, Central Americe, North America or all of it.
Course his book was written 30 years ago and there is no doubt that for many years most LDS leaders took a hemispheric approach to Book of Mormon geography and the LGT is more recently in vogue.
