“We Did Come to the Land Which We Called Bountiful”

W. Cleon Skousen

This company had suddenly come upon a tropical Garden of Eden. A region which precisely fits the description by Nephi is known by a modern name of Qara but Lehi's colony called it Bountiful because of the abundance of fruit, honey and tropical plants And this paradise was right by the great sea named Irreantum, which means many waters.
