At one point during my lifetime, Vermont had more cows than people

I remember reading that when I was doing the research on Vermont. I am learning so much by dragging escorting all of you Finest FReepers through these states. By the time we have visited all of them, I should have a pretty good knowledge of the United States.....if I can retain it all. :-)

I think we are going to add your idea to our bookclub.

So far we have done Space, Rain forests, ocean, plants, and now pioneering. Problems we have run into is finding a children's book to go with our themes to jump start the interest. Then if we find one...we have to do library searches to ensure it is available at the local libraries for them members.

But I like your idea of states. It will help with geography too!
