REPLETE with it-came-to-pass's, lo's and behold's, Hunt's production conveyed powerfully a spirit prevenient of the later Book of Mormon, with a message that Native Americans could be Christianized and improved, that Satan had inspired the foes of righteous Americans (even to conspire with savage Indians), and that America- when righteous- is protected by God. The Late War is doubly significant to Mormon studies in exhibiting a wide variety of the same literary Hebraisms which some Book of Mormon defenders promote as indicators of an ancient original Hebrew text.

I have read through my patient little cloth-bound copy of Hunt's book a number of times over a period of years, taking lengthy notes and transcriptions. I will have missed, inevitably, some points of significance, and will have overlooked additional examples of those points which were identified. These Mormon parallels from The Late War are arranged below within three sections:

A) SUBJECT–CONTENT

B) LITERARY–HEBRAISMS

C) LITERARY–OTHER POINTS OF INTEREST.
