Some of the land claims of the 13 original States were downright bizarre.

Interesting...I know from my neck o' the woods CT and NY came close to blows about their border. As a matter of fact, to this day you can see a remnant of the old fight: driving north on I-684 while firmly in NY, you see a sign that says "Welcome to Greenwich, CT." A small point of CT juts into NY there and they love to remind the Empire Staters of that.

And BTW, History Channel is running a series on how the states established their borders...I've watched a bit of it and it's pretty good.

I've added Clemenza since I would think he would love this kinda stuff.

"How the States got their Shapes" is a fun book with all the interesting history of every little dot and tittle on each state border. My daughter got it for me last Christmas.
