"Fireflies and Stardust" by Kevin MacLeod
Notes:
- Flags are based on official state flags, not unofficial ones or ensigns.
- Modern reservations shown do not include trust lands unless they are specifically also considered reservations outright.
- County changes for Tennessee and Kentucky during the earlier years contradict in some sources and are missing precise dates in some cases. I tried to make the best judgement I could in resolving these issues.
