A war commenced between the Nephites and Lamanites, in which the former were victorious (p. 497, par. 2). 325. Mormon was restrained from preaching to the people, and because of their wickedness, and the prevalence of sorceries, witchcrafts, and magic, their treasures slipped aws| from them (p. 497, par. 2). 326. Mormon was appointed leader of the Nephite armies (p. 498, par. 3). 330. A great battle took place in the land of Joshua, in which the Nephites were victorious (p. 498, par. 3). 344. Thousands of the Nephites were hewn down in their open rebellion against God (p. 499, par. 4). 345. Mormon had obtained the plates according to commandment of Ammaron, and he made an account of the wickedness and abominations of his people (p. 499, par. 5). 346. The Nephites were driven northward to the land of Shem, and there fought and beat a powerful army of the Lamanites (p. 500, par. 6). 349. The Nephites obtained by treaty all the land of their inheritance, and a ten years' peace ensued (p. 500, par. 6). 360. The king of the Lamanites sent an epistle to Mormon indicating that they were again preparing for war (p. 501, par. 7). * 361. A battle took place near the City of Desolation. The Nephites were victorious (p. 501, par. 8). 362. A second battle ensued with the like result (p. 501, par. 8). Mormon now gave up the command of the Nephite army (p. 501, par. 9). 363. The Lamanites obtained a signal victory over the Nephites, and took possession of the City of Desolation (p. 502, par. 1). 364. The Nephites retook the City of Desolation (p. 503, par. 2). 366.
