"New Witnesses for God (Volume 3 of 3)" by B. H. Roberts is a historical examination presented to bolster the validity of the Book of Mormon through both internal consistencies and external, corroborating information. The narrative explores themes like old stories in the Americas about the birth and death of someone important, drawing comparisons between these stories and similar events in the Book of Mormon. The volume starts with a close look at stories about signs in the sky that told of the coming and departure of a Messiah, focusing on how these stories appear in the Americas. Roberts brings up indigenous tales and tries to show how they match up with the Book of Mormon. He talks about big, destructive events like total eclipses and terrible darkness happening along with the death of the Messiah. He connects these things with Native American stories that seem to match events in holy writings, implying a connection between old Hebrew culture and the start of Native American groups.
