Wilderness of Akish

According to The Book of Mormon, the wilderness of Akish was the site of a large battle during Jaredite times.
Coriantumr and his army pursued the brother of Shared to the wilderness of Akish where a great battle ensued and many thousands died by the sword (). Coriantumr laid siege to the wilderness, a tactic which ultimately failed when his enemies escaped and took the throne of Coriantumr (). Coriantumr then lived for two years in this wilderness while he strengthened his army ().
Later, during the war with Lib, Coriantumr's army again retreated to this wilderness ().
