State capitals are an indelible part of the American psyche, spatial representations of state power and national identity. Learning them by heart is a rite of passage in grade school, a pedagogical exercise that emphasizes the importance of committing place-names to memory. But geographers have yet to analyze state capitals in any depth. In American Capitals, Christian Montès takes us on a well-researched journey across America—from Augusta to Sacramento, Albany to Baton Rouge—shedding light along the way on the historical circumstances that led to their appointment, their success or failure, and their evolution over time. While all state capitals have a number of characteristics in common—as symbols of the state, as embodiments of political power and decision making, as public spaces with private interests—Montès does not interpret them through a single lens, in large part because of the differences in their spatial and historical evolutionary patterns. Some have remained small, while others have evolved into bustling metropolises, and Montès explores the dynamics of change and growth. All but eleven state capitals were established in the nineteenth century, thirty-five before 1861, but, rather astonishingly, only eight of the fifty states have maintained their original capitals. Despite their revered status as the most monumental and historical cities in America, capitals come from surprisingly humble beginnings, often plagued by instability, conflict, hostility, and corruption. Montès reminds us of the period in which they came about, “an era of pioneer and idealized territorial vision,” coupled with a still-evolving American citizenry and democracy.

How many people really know all the American state capitals? How many people even know all the capitals? This book covers all 50 states and capitals. That's quite a list to learn! This book is available in two formats, Kindle and a glossy softback. If you have the Kindle version you can either navigate by going from page to page or you can choose any page from the Contents page and then return to the Contents page in the normal way you do on your device. If you have the glossy softback you can flick through it in much the same way but I have left plenty of room on each page so that if you want it could be used as a project book, with information written in, doodles and drawings included, and/or pictures stuck in. However you use it, I hope you enjoy it and become even more knowledgeable about the great states of America. If you liked this book please look out for others coming in the series covering the rest of the world.
