How the States Got Their Shapes

I’m catching up on some podcasts and ran into a discussion of this topic and book of the same name by Mark Stein on On Point (our locally produced NPR interview show). Good stuff - but do keep a map handy while you listen.

My favorite tidbit: How Case Western Reserve got that name. Did you the Western Reserve was part of Connecticut? The University is in Ohio!
