Why You Shouldn'T "DIY" Your Campaign

This month, Mike is recommending Lost States by Michael J. Trinklein.



This book is a short casual read for those who wonder about the different states the U.S. could have had. We learn about the serious plans to divide California and Texas, as well as more unlikely proposals such as West Dakota and East Dakota. We also hear about past proposals to annex Greenland, Iceland, and Taiwan. For anyone who enjoys the history of geography, this is a fun book that shows what the United States could have been.
