The Book of the Strangers

1And Haga did lead the people by the Spirit. And he also did learn the ways of building with wood. And because of many wars people had a desire to move away from their land. And so Haga did build a large ship. And he did take his family in to the ship and traveled to a northern land. And others did follow. And after many years Haga who was the son of Haga did take leave Lehi Abinadi King Lemhi Ammon Hagoth of the people. And he did take journey with boats to find a land for himself away from that of his fathers. And they did travel upon the sea into the west. And there did arise a great storm and they were pushed off course. And they had wrecked upon an island. And Haga decided to await rescue from his brethren. But at no time did any rescue come Wherefore Haga did make his home upon the island. And behold there were many other people who were already inhabitants upon the islands. And it was common that people from distant lands should come unto these islands. And it was during the time of his awaiting of rescue that Haga did take unto himself a wife of the native people of the island. And she bore him a son. And this son did go forth upon the islands and did find a beautiful woman among the people of a distant island. And he did marry her but she did not believe the religion of her husband. And their children did not follow the religion of their father. And his children did spread themselves out in the islands. For they were very curious and did seek to explore. And seeing that they were very skilled in the art of navigation, they did discover many new lands. And thus the children of our great father Haga did spread abroad upon the islands.
