Just trying to clarify that the Garden of Eden, however considered by any Mormon I've ever spoken with, did not exist concurrently with the legally defined, modern state of Missouri.
A journalist or two of late have failed to distinguish between the geography that is now enclosed within the state of Missouri and the state itself. To say, "Mormons think the Garden of Eden was in Missouri," is, strictly speaking, false. That Mormon leaders have repeatedly taught that it was in the place that is now within the state of Missouri, is true.
