I love the idea of this book, and I did learn a lot of interesting trivia about how the states' borders were formed. The problem is with the book structure... it's alphabetical by state, which means you'll be reading the same trivia twice for each border, for example, the border between Connecticut and Massachusetts is discussed in both states' chapters. This gets old after a while. And also, the reason for some borders (e.g. the 36°30' latitude that came out of the Missouri Compromise (slavery allowed below, not above) affects several states, so you read about it over and over again. I can see why organizing the book was challenging, but I wonder if there was a better / less tedious way.If you love geography and US history, you'll still get a lot out of this book.
This is an excellent reference source. It strength is also its weakness, because each state's story must stand on its own there is a great deal of overlapping, repetitious information between it and the states that border it. Short of making the story one long narrative of the nation as a whole it would be hard to avoid this rehashing. It would also leave you having to dig to find the story of your state among all the others.On the other hand, I found the reuse of trite phrase throughout the book tedious after a while. The test of a good writer is to make old stories interesting and fresh. Mark Stein might have done a better job there.As usual with Kindle the illustrations are limited to viewing page size so enlarging can be a problem (because of the nature of the maps less so in this book that others I've read) and the illustrations were not linked to references in the text. If the text mentioned Fig. 13 you had to flip forward to find figure 13 - and then flip back to pick up where you were. Sigh!One last point I liked is that if I want to learn more about, say, Colorado's eastern border you can go to the Table of Contents and select Kansas. Quick and easy!
I found this interesting and informative, but was frustrated by the frequent repetitions and illogical organization. Yes, I know this was a bestseller and a television series, but there is room for improvement. The alphabetic-by-state-name organization is the least useful possible; instead, start with an alphabetical listing of state names ( for those who must have it), linked to chapters organized by state (or colony) creation date, o by geography, sweeping generally from east to west. This way, the discussions of intrastate boundaries would only have to be given one time,
This book provides some fascinating insight into the history that literally shaped our country. Even if you don't read the entire book, which I recommend you do, it is a great reference book if you are interested in particular states. Some state borders were set for obvious and logical reasons, such as rivers, etc. However, some borders defy logic until you see the politics and debates going on at the time. Just think of the task of carving the Louisiana Purchase territory into states. Or, settling claims of the colonies when the states were formed. Most interesting and highly recommended.
This is a good reference work. It tells how each of the states became formed and what geographic and political factors were involved. For example, Utah lost the northeast corner of the state to Wyoming which became a complete rectangle as a result: two factors were involved: Geographically there is an imposing mountain range cutting across the northeast corner of what could have been Utah that would have made transportation, administration and logistic support of the trans-mountain section of the potential Utah difficult. Politically, many senior congressmen and senators were prejudiced against the Mormon leaders of Utah and happily jumped at the chance to take territory away from Utah. While the book is episodic, telling as it does 50 stories about the states of the county, Mr. Stein tells the stories interestingly and will obvious academic research. It is a good addition to any library of American history.
Well, I am american, but I loved this book ! I read it aloud to my husband and we had maps, and google and all sorts of stuff as "aids". The maps in the book are very very good, but we liked it so much we supplemented the maps with more maps !I had always looked at a map of the US and thought it was a straight line here, a squiggly river line there. Not so ! The book is logically laid out. The maps are excellent. We howled over the drunken surveyors (well, there were no roads and the terrain can get pretty tough..). We loved the true story of Ellis Island. A lot of mysteries over the formation of the original 13 colonies was solved.All the states (maybe with the exception of Wyoming) had border disputes when it came time to nail down exactly what real estate was going to make up a state. Yes, sometimes it got bloody, but by and large each state-to-be worked out its differences peacefully with their neighbors. I think that says a lot of good things about how the nascent USA citizens worked well with each other. Sure beats some of the wars and invasions that have gone on in Europe for centuries.Highly recommend this book. I haven't seen the history channel series based on this book. But this book should be a school textbook. It's that informative . Loved it.
You would think this would be about the most boring book possible, but it's just the opposite. I first borrowed a copy at the library, but liked it so much that I bought a used hardback edition (the condition of which exceeded my expectations). If you enjoy reading American history, you'll like this one. I never really thought too much about the states' borders, but when you read this, you realize that every line has a reason. And too often that reason involved conflict and bloodshed. Those innocuous little lines have a dark history.
