Note the First Nation up North. This is a serious look at what actually exists not an exercise in political correctness.

I'd recommend it. The book is interesting, he shows some differences between Tidewater and the Deep South that I wouldn't have picked up on. He admits that folks can quibble with his counties, but he has historical reasons for his inclusions. He also talks about and takes into account our mobility as a nation. I'm only 1/4 into it but a couple hurricane days from now and I'll have a better idea about his ideas.
