How The States Got Their Shapes (2008) - Plot & Excerpts

I would have preferred if this book was in chronological or geographical order instead of alphabetical, but I still got the information. It was just very scrambled around, which was a little inconvenient at times. Also the chapters were no more than 10 pages long, so the information was very basic, but trust me, I still learned a lot. It's a pretty good book to read if you haven't read any other books about states before. Wow...that couldn't have been more repetitive if it tried. Note to self: when writing a book about state borders, don't arrange the entries alphabetically. Try something logical, like chronological or spacial order. Then again, according to his own bio, Mark Stein isn't an academic or historian; he's a screenwriter (anyone remember Housesitter? THIS is the guy!!), so some allowance should be given. I'll still check out the sequel, as it shouldn't be as repetitive.
