There is a short interview at the link below with Kendal Sheets: author of Book of Mormon, Book of Lies. He seems to have tracked down some sources of the BoM text. I have no idea how compelling the case being made in the book is.
Personally I am convinced it was a team effort - Sidney Rigdon, Oliver Cowdery and Smith. Smith was using documents supplied to him by Cowdery / Rigdon as well as his vivid imagination. The text may well have been a double plagiarism, e.g. input from Solomon Spalding's manuscript that may have already "borrowed" heavily from other authors.
