“How the States got their Shapes”.

IIRC, I saw a book with exactly that title maybe a year ago in Barnes & Noble. Didn't buy or read it, but it should have some interesting tales - not sure how accurate they may be - for history buffs.

I'm quite certain that if you look sufficiently, you can find one historical document or another that specifies any of the boundaries between the states.

I know there are a number of properties that are partly in one state and partly in another. One of them is very well known and owned by the federal government: Yellowstone National Park.

You may already be familiar with this, very interesting.
