"Superior" is the very first lost state I ever came across... I read about the proposal in a
Newsweek article in the 1970s--when I was a teenager. It seemed like such a weird, cool, fascinating idea. In today's
Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, book reviewer Jim Higgins echoes that fascination in his
very nice review of
Lost States. While the
online version of the review has no maps, the print version of the newspaper had a big map of Superior. Cool. So if you missed it, the map is above.... and a
bigger version here.
Hey Michael - we'd like to do an interview with you for the website of New Jersey Monthly magazine. Can you drop me an email? I'm at jenmiller27 [at] gmail [dot] com. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHaving been to the UP once, I asked my wife, a native Michigander, why they didn't just give the UP to Wisconsin, since it was already attached. She replied: "They didn't want it."
ReplyDeleteWhich I think says everything you need to know about "Superior".
