About Kathy
I'm Kathy Guyton, and I am in the process of uploading my book on state names to my website: http://www.mountainstormpress.com
If you would like to help with this and other projects, become a patron, and Thank You!
About the book:
Do you know how each of the American states was named? And I don't mean just "what the word means" or "which river has the same name." I mean HOW, WHY, WHEN, WHERE, and WHO got to decide? Well, I wondered about that several years ago, and went looking for the book that would tell me. After searching the internet and all of my local libraries, I came to the conclusion that the book didn't exist. So I wrote it. The result was "State Names: The Stories of How Our States Were Named," and I'm working on uploading it to the internet.
I have other projects in mind, like videos (about state names and other topics), and some other writing. So, I hope you come along for the ride. And thank you.
