If you are expecting cute trivia, this is not the book. This book explains the boundaries, of each state. I learned a great deal that I never knew. It is not a dry or boring book. It is easy to understand. It will cover many boundary disputes that occurred between states, some wars.

Hey, spoiler alert. Most of had to do with boundaries of rivers, and mountains, politics, wars, and compromises.
