Navigate the boundaries of rivers and land with a 19th‑century legal classic. This detailed treatise explains how navigable waterways shape property, rights, and government power in the United States, using historical cases and statutory context to illuminate the law of alluvion, boundaries, and admiralty jurisdiction.
Delving into how surveys, fractional land, and river channels interact, this edition traces the evolution of the law from common practice to congressional action. It covers riparian rights, the meaning of low‑water marks, and how states and the federal government regulate and adjudicate river lands.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides a detailed examination of the law regarding navigable rivers in the United States. The author explores the historical development of this complex area of law, from its origins in English Common Law to its present-day application in American jurisprudence. Particular attention is given to the legal definition of navigable rivers and the associated issues of riparian rights, including the public's right to use navigable waterways for navigation and commerce. The book also addresses the often-difficult question of determining which rivers are considered navigable and which are not, and discusses the various factors that courts have used to make this determination. The author delves into the historical context of the ebb and flow of the tide as a test of navigability, and explains why this test is often insufficient and outdated when applied to the vast inland river systems of the United States. Through a comprehensive analysis of case law and legal scholarship, this book offers a valuable resource for anyone interested in the legal framework governing navigable rivers in the United States.
