'Our Fifty States' book

[bandit957]

Anyone remember this book? It was put out by National Geographic in the late '70s. There may have been another edition later, but the one I had was from maybe 1978 or 1979.

I think my grandfather gave us this book after National Geographic sent it to him because he read their magazine. It was full of color photos and maps, and had a few pages on each state. It came with a fold-out map of the U.S. that had an aerial photo of the U.S. on the other side.

I remember the photos included kids skating on a snow-covered street in North Dakota, a smelterman with big sideburns holding a big piece of silver in Nevada, a blur of a football game in Ohio, a sculptor in Indiana making a sculpture of a race car, and more!

It was cool.

I remember that. It was similar to "Our World" and "Our Universe."
