How the States Got Their Shapes
by Mark Stein
by Mark Stein
This book was quite interesting. I read it cover to cover, which turned out to perhaps not be the way it was fully intended to be read. It's set up so that you can also flip to your state or a state you have a particular interest in to find out about its borders. That means there's a fair bit of repetition, like once you get to Mississippi you've already read all about it in the Alabama section. Therefore I ended up only reading about three quarters of it. The other criticism I have is that there's not a whole lot of detail in a lot of instances. But for what it is, a quick fact book about state borders, it's pretty good.
