Preview The Handy State-by-State Answer Book
Samuel Willard Crompton is a native of Massachusetts who has visited about thirty of the fifty states. During a break from his literary endeavors he took a thirty-day train trip around the entire perimeter of the country, and he’s never been the same since. Some of the highlights were the Four Mile Bridge at Astoria and Cut Bank, Montana. Crompton is the author or editor of many books, including The Illustrated Atlas of Native American History and Visible Ink’s The Handy Civil War Answer Book, The Handy Boston Answer Book, and The Handy Military History Answer Book. He is a specialist in the French and Indian Wars and has served as a talking head for the Military Channel on its First Command program. Crompton teaches history at Holyoke Community College in Massachusetts, where he has seen his students move from the analog to digital ages. He resides in Hadley, Massachusetts.
