Good collection of interesting stories concerning the historical quirks of our country's expansion (and sometime tension). Quick read, with plenty of maps. Recommended for lovers of history and American politics. (

Fun little read about how American states could have been or still could be different. (

I never realized how many states were proposed that never came to be, some as recently as the late 20th century. The author is witty and well informed. (
