Too Many Counties in the United States
The article argues American counties vary greatly in size and population and suggests potential consolidation. It cites Bristol Rhode Island as the smallest by area and Custer Montana as the largest, notes New York County’s massive population, and mentions Nevada county in Utah Territory before statehood.

It ends with a claim that a gun firing a six pound projectile without recoil was invented by a U.S. naval officer turned on seroplanes.
