The Heartland model proposes that the events of the Book of Mormon took place mostly in the Heartland of the United States; i.e., the area from Iowa to Ohio. If you ask a proponent of Book of Mormon Heartland why he/she is looking in the Heartland, you will probably get an answer such as "Because that's where Joseph Smith said it was." In this post, I'm explaining my understanding, based on what I've read and heard. I want to be accurate and fair.
