About this title

Synopsis:

This latest edition of a longstanding classic contains concise information on each U.S. county's area, population, date of creation and name origin. Unlike previous editions, counties and other 'first-order subdivisions' - independent cities, boroughs, census areas-are now presented in a single list. Greater attention has also been paid to county name origins. An essential resource for researchers in local or state history, travelers, and genealogists.

About the Author:

The late Joseph Nathan Kane is the author of the 4th Edition of The American Counties and laid the groundwork for this revision. Charles Curry Aiken is an occupational safety and health consultant. Previously employed with the Navy Safety School, this position provided him the opportunity to travel across the U.S. and fostered his interest in U.S. geography-especially counties.
