[2013 Mormon Historical Association Winner for Article Award of Excellence]
The essay discusses the "Manuscript Found" document composed by author Solomon Spaulding and its possible influence on the creation of the Book of Mormon, along with its depiction of Native American life. More specifically, the author seeks to draw attention away from the work's possible influence on Mormonism by investigating Spaulding's understanding of U.S. race relations and democracy. Particular focus is given to the impact of Jeffersonian republicanism on the work.
