"The author of Storm contributes another book unique in the field of Americana. With a wealth of historical and anecdotal detail, he traces the origins and evolution of the principal place-names in the United States, and every American should find fascination in the discovery of the strange circumstances by which names long familiar came into being. As a trasury of national lore and as a source book of historical information, this volume provides an entirely new adventure in the rediscovery of our past. " .
