5.0 out of 5 stars
A fine book,
By Emma Hardesty (Tucson, AZ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Names on the land, (Hardcover)
Highly readable and appealing, this history is no cutsey look at how places in the US got their names; it's a page-turner of intriguing detail, with appropriate respect for NA Indians. Mr Stewart touches on subjects as varied as the War Between the States, how Oklahoma got its name,the prevalent use of "-burgh' in the eastern sections,and "Noah Webster's spelling book." Find a copy of NAMES ON THE LAND if you have any interest in finding yet another clue as to how the US got to be the way it is today.
