Where O Where Has My Middle-Earth Gone?

Where is The Lord of the Rings set?  I say it’s the Americas.  Here’s why:

  2.  Potatoes.  Same deal: the Americas.

  3. The Great River.  Nothing in Europe, and especially nothing in England, can compare with either the Mighty Mississippi or the Amazon.

Conclusion:  The Lord of the Rings, totally in the Americas.
