It is entirely missing FAIR on the Internet however... Yes, of course, being one of the founders, I would notice that. Also the conferences, books, etc. and who has since fallen out with them and have changed sides... I shall get with you about those details...

A major oversight, Philo! Let’s confer so I can get some insider information.

On his Sic blog he claims to never heard of Louis Edward Hills.

Jawbone, do you have the exact quote where he says he's never heard of Hills?

Mike Ash has.

hmm that footnote leads to Sorenson's FARMS Study aid with a map by Hills.

In 1992, John Sorenson published an interesting treatment of the history of models for the geography of the Book of Mormon: The Geography of Book of Mormon Events: A Source Book. In it, among many others, he explains and discusses all of the various theories, including L. E. Hills’s model, which has several obvious resemblances to his own as well as not a few significant differences.

I myself, though, have never (to my knowledge) read a line of the writing of L. E. Hills, nor ever so much as laid an eye on any book or article written by him. My introduction to serious thinking about Book of Mormon geography came via David A. Palmer and then, even more importantly and far more broadly, through the work of my late friend John Sorenson.

for what it's worth I’m still having trouble seeing the significance of L. E. Hills.

Dan says right there that Hills was discussed in 1992.

Sorenson’s geography book is available here. Elder Hills is mentioned on pages 22, 26, 31, 32, 33, 87-89.
