[PW] length of state borders

Hi -

We have a patron wanting to know the circumference of each of the United
States.  I have searched the internet until I'm blue in the face, and have
found the length of the international boundaries between US/Canada and
US/Mexico, and I was able to discover the length of each of the NSEW sides
of North Dakota, but have had no success with the other states.  We queried
Providence about one of their titles, but it did not contain this
information.  Another library in our consortium said that the patron would
have to go there to use their resource (I am assuming that there was no nice
neat chart, and that the info would have to be culled for each state).
Does anyone have a resource that contains a chart/list of this information
that they can share with us?  Our patron does not want the area (easily
found), or the coastline (also readily available).

Thanks!
