According to his record, Joseph Smith, Jr. translated the Book of Mormon by gift and power of God through the Urim and Thummim.

Eleven witnesses signed testimonies of its authenticity, which are now included in the preface to the Book of Mormon.

The Three Witnesses testified to having seen an angel present the gold plates, and to having heard God bear witness to its truth.

Eight others stated that Joseph Smith, Jr. showed them the plates and that they handled and examined them.
