I'm just saying that it took till 2001 for it to be settled, so it was a long-running dispute, and since the Supreme Court took the case, they must have thought it was a question that needed to be decided definitively, not dismissing NH's challenge out of hand. I would guess that any New Hampshire sources from the early 1800s and/or the early 1900s that Bacon used might well have considered the prison to be in their state.
