Not expressly, since the name "America" wasn't used until 1507, over 1,000 years after the Book of Mormon was written. The word America is only used in modern additions such as chapter summaries.

However, what is now America (the continents of North and South America combined) is mentioned repeatedly, because it is the setting for much of the Book of Mormon. It is generally referred to as the 'Promised Land'. The introduction of the Book of Mormon says "The Book of Mormon is a sacred record of peoples in ancient America."

The western discovery of America, its colonization, and the founding of the United States is fortold by the prophet Nephi in 1 Nephi chaper 13.

How many verses in the Book of Mormon talk of Jesus Christ?

"Jesus Christ" is mentioned 64 times "Jesus" (not followed by "Christ") is mentioned 116 times "Christ" (without "Jesus") is mentioned 302 times Please note that Jesus Christ is mentioned hundreds if not thousands of times in the Book of Mormon by other names, such as "Messiah", "Son of God", "Redeemer", "Lord", "Lamb of God" and "Jehovah". I didn't count any of those. In a broader sense, every verse in the Book of Mormon is about Jesus Christ, since the entire book is meant to be "Another Witness of Jesus Christ". The Book of Mormon is a testimony of the faithfulness of God and the divinity and necessity of Jesus Christ as our Savior.

Where did the book of Mormon take place?

Essentially, all that can be proved is that the Book of Mormon took place somewhere that was across a large body of water from the Middle East. From descriptions of lands in the Book of Mormon, most everyone deduces that it takes place in the Americas, with the "narrow neck of land" mentioned being near where the Panema canal is. Joseph Smith described the Native American Indians (of North, Central, and South America) as being descendants of the Book of Mormon peoples. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, by far the largest denomination professing belief in the Book of Mormon, has never produced an official statement or map regarding where the Book of Mormon took place. Individual people and scholars have come up with several maps, which you can see at the "Related Links" below.
