Lost States by Michael J Trinklein
"Lost States" is a tribute to great unrealized states like West Florida, Forgotonia, Texlahoma, and Chicago (yes, Chicago wanted to be its own state). Fans of U.S. history will be entertained and enlightened by these bizarre-but-true stories.
“We all know the 50 states, but how much do you know about the hundreds of statehood proposals that never came to pass? These fascinating maps of states that might have been are from Michael JTrinklein’s Lost States: True Stories of Texlahoma, Transylvania, and Other States That Never Made It.”
