About State Names
I'm Kathy Guyton, and I wrote this book: http://www.mountainstormpress.com
I have begun making videos that will complement the book with new information, new research, news about state names, etc. Also, I might throw in a little politics now and then.
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.
Thank you!
