Simple English
It bordered on the land they called Desolation. It was so far north that it came into the land where people had lived and been destroyed. We have talked about their bones. The people of Zarahemla found them. It was the place where they first landed.
Paraphrase
Bountiful bordered the land called Desolation, far to the north—the land that had once been inhabited by the people whose bones were discovered by Zarahemla’s people. That’s where those ancient people first landed.
