Much of this book reads like scripture. What I mean is that while reading, the sacred and revered nature of many of the Native American legends comes through quite strongly. I found the subject matter to be very interesting, especially because the stories of the Prophet coincide so well with the Book of Mormon's account of Jesus Christ visiting the Americas. Being a Mormon myself, this is endlessly fascinating because Ms. Hansen was not a Mormon nor affiliated with the LDS Church.

The important thing to know about this book is that the author is not affiliated in any way with the LDS Church.
This book is really really good up until the point at which she completely misses the big picture.
She spent a lot of time doing a lot of research about the beliefs of Native Americans about a pale skinned or white god that came among them, taught a gospel, organized a governing body of 12 men, established lodges with secret signs and symbols, established a priesthood authorirty, and so...more

I LOVED this book! L. Taylor Hansen has gathered the oral histories concerning the pale God who visited native American tribes all over the Americas. It is a fascinating collection of stories and legends that are remarkably similar in the their description of the Prophet who came from the far off land across the ocean. The Prophet was also known as Kate-Zahl (Quetzalcoatl), Vira Cocha, Mahnt-Azoma, Chee-zoos, Tah-co-mah, The Healer, The Lord-of-Wind-and-Water, Wakea, and other names depending on...more
This seminal work was written by L. (Linda) Taylor Hansen who happens Not to be LDS as far as we know. She documents Christ's visits to Ancient America "after" Book of Mormon times. It's really quite the classic.

Once you get past the old-fashioned writing, etc --the legends and stories are fascinating, especially when you know the real truth about the "Pale God."
This was very hard for me to read. The writing and editing were distracting. I found the notes at the end to be the most interesting part.
Affirmation of Christ's intentions to visit His other sheep as indicated to His apostles while still amnog them in Jerusalem.
What a book! And it backs up my faith as well! In My opinion it's a must own for other Latter Day saints!
Amazingly interesting for Christian audiences or those interested in Native American traditions.
I love this book! Fascinating history of an interesting topic.
Very interesting book. Made me want to be an archaeologist.
Somewhat hard to follow and a little dry and repetitive. I often wondered about the sources and the veracity of the accounts. However, the basic premise is very interesting, that Jesus or another Essene visited people around the Americas during the time of Jesus.
This book is about legends of a white man who taught the native people of America (N&S)the gospel. It is very interesting and is told through the Native legends. I thought it was fascinating.
Collection of Indian tales from North and South America of the travels of a white god. Arranged in a geographical and chronological order that fits the stories together in a logical way.
This book is so interesting. It really solidifies to me what LDS people believe about Christ visiting the people in the Americas. Well worth the read.
Very interesting. Curious. But not exactly thrilling reading.
