bumblebee Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 We most all know the 49th state and the 50th state admitted to the Union were Alaska and Hawaii. This should be a fairly easy question, but which state was the 48th? I'll take a stab at New Mexico? Quote Link to comment
Lefty Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I'll take a stab at New Mexico? Nope, sorry. Quote Link to comment
