  • The History of Through United States Postage Stamps
    The History Of Arizona Through United States Postage Stamps By Al Ring 2006 April 4, 2002 Greetings From America 3563 The History Of Arizona Through About The Collection United States Postage Stamps A quick note about this collection Below are listed where the majority of information for this collection came from. The Arizona Adven- ture, Learning Through Postage Stamps, software, from The Postal History Foundation and an article from Arizona Highways, A Philatelist’s View of Arizona, formed the foundation of this collection. Some other places where information came from are also listed as well as many of the internet sites used. I merely gathered all the information I could on the subject, put them in an order I could understand and designed the presentation pages. Not everything in this history is a postage stamp, there is some information from other sources. The Postal History Foundation The Arizona Adventure, Learning through Postage stamps.

  • Land of 10,000 Lakes
    Minnesota Land of 10,000 Lakes Created for free use in the public domain American Philatelic Society ©2013 www.stamps.org Early Minnesota History and Exploration Capping the northwestern end of Lake Superior, Minnesota is where midwestern America begins. It was carved out of the eastern half of the Minnesota Territory and admitted to the Union as the 32nd state on May 11, 1858. Nicknamed "Land of 10,000 Lakes," the state’s name comes from the Dakota word “min-ni-sotah,” meaning "sky-tinted water". Those waters, together with forests, parks and wilderness areas, offer visitors many outdoor recreational opportunities. More than half of Minnesota’s residents live in the “Twin Cities,” as the Minneapolis–Saint Paul metropolitan area is known. It is the center of transportation, business, industry, education, and government, and home to a flourishing arts community. The remainder of its nearly 87,000 square miles consists of western prairies, farmland, forests, and the less populated North Woods. 1996 • Scott 3078 1996 • Scott 3079 Prehistoric Animals Prehistoric Animals Woolly Mammoth Mastodon 1991 • Scott C131 Pre-Columbian America Series First Americans Crossed Over From Asia Massive glaciers covered Minnesota 12,000 years ago — a frosty year-round climate like Minnesota winters today.
