The Voree plates:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voree_Plates
"According to the website strangite.org, Derek J. Masson, a non-Mormon scholar, argued in his unpublished 1977 paper: A Comparison of the Voree Record with Some Eastern Scripts that the Voree Record was genuine, and that Strang’s translation was sound.] Furthermore, says this site, a second non-Mormon scholar, Robert Madison, allegedly concluded in his 1990 treatise: A Preliminary Linguistic Analysis of James J. Strang’s Voree Plates that the text on the plates appears to represent a genuine, albeit unknown, language, and that Strang’s translation appeared to be “a superb (if poetic) rendition of that text into English.”
And some of the Book of Mormon witnesses believed in Strang as well …
“Many prominent Latter Day Saints believed in Strang’s Letter of Appointment and accepted him as Mormonism’s second “Prophet, Seer, Revelator and Translator”–at least for the time being. These included the early church’s Presiding Patriarch and Apostle William Smith (Joseph’s only surviving brother); Book of Mormon witness Martin Harris (who left and later rejoined the LDS Church in Utah); Nauvoo Stake President William Marks; Second Bishop of the Church and church trustee-in-trust George Miller, Apostle John E. Page; former Apostle William E. M’Lellin; and many others.”
