FARGO, N.D. — An Oregon man has given the Library of Congress a rare and unusual gift: a 120-year-old map supporting the theory that the Earth is flat.
Don Homuth, of Salem, Ore., said the map was given to him by his eighth-grade teacher. It was created by Orlando Ferguson of Hot Springs, S.D.
Library of Congress spokesman Robert Morris told The Forum newspaper that officials checked more than 75 maps before confirming the design was one-of-a-kind.
