 Meridian Magazine :: Book of Mormon: Finding Nephi’s “Bountiful” in the Real World
Bountiful had timber suitable to construct a ship able to carry at least two dozen people (18: 1,2) for thousands of miles across the oceans.
For these reasons the Book of Mormon was criticized for making the fantastic claim that Lehi’s group arrived at a fertile place with fruit and timber trees.
It is important to remember that Nephi’s Bountiful was much, much more than just a suitable place to build and launch his ship.  Twice we are told by Nephi that the very reason it was named Bountiful was because there was “much fruit” there (1 Nephi 17:5,6).

 Changes to the Book of Mormon

Mormons from Joseph Smith to the present have continued to view the Book of Mormon doctrine of the Godhead as harmonious with all later developments.

 Testing the Book of Mormon Tract
After telling of the Mormon belief in Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon, he frankly stated: "Let me now state uncategorically that as far as I know there is not one professionally trained archaeologist, who is not a Mormon, who sees any scientific justification for believing the foregoing to be true,...
The Mormon Church granted hundreds of thousands of dollars to this organization, but in the end, Thomas Stuart Ferguson admitted that although the Foundation made some important contributions to New World archaeology, all his work with regard to the Book of Mormon was in vain.
While there is no archaeological evidence to support the Book of Mormon’s claim that there were Nephites in the New World, the existence of the Israelites in the Holy Land is verified by a great deal of evidence.
