Many LDS scholars content the “New Mormon History” theory that Joseph Smith used a dark seer stone in a hat to translate all, or part, of the Book of Mormon. Even current LDS doctrine has been updated to include this narrative.
There are, however, many flaws with this theory. The book “Seer Stone vs Urim and Thummim” covers these topics in detail. This map is used to make an easy resource for those contenting for traditional LDS history, that the Interpreters (the Urim and Thummim) were used exclusively to translate the Book of Mormon.
