Facts About the States has the answer to virtually any question that can be asked about the 50 states of the Union, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. This edition has been thoroughly revised and updated with the latest available statistics, putting thousands of useful,  — fascinating and often unusual — facts about the states at the fingertips of users of your library.

Part Two of this book draws from the extensive data provided in Part One to present comparative tables that rank states by area and population density, order of settlement and statehood, average temperature and rainfall, highest and lowest levels of literary, personal wealth, presidential voting patterns, geographic characteristics, plus many other illuminating comparisons.
