Jon Krakauer Quote
Passing: the righteous, fair-skinned Nephites, led by Nephi, and their bitter adversaries, the Lamanites, as the followers of Laman were known. The Lamanites were an idle people, full of mischief and subtlety, whose behavior was so annoying to God that He cursed the whole lot of them with dark skin to punish them for their impiety.
