Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the crucial first period of the federal land system, a period which set important precedents and established critical policies. The author focuses on the ways that national public lands passed into private ownership, exploring the land policies of the nascent nation, the differing land systems of the time, and the various forces that shaped the development of the land system, including the need for revenue, the demand for settlement, and the influence of political compromise. Exploring how the land system was first organized, how it evolved, and how these early decisions defined the West in significant ways, this book provides a valuable window into the development of westward expansion and the United States as we know it.
