Synopsis

This book meticulously chronicles the manner in which the rectangular survey method of the national land system was established in the United States during the 18th and 19th centuries. The author explores various precedents that influenced the development of this system, including the rectangular principles seen in colonial surveys, precedents for the township method seen in early townships, and the origins of the 640-acre section seen in frontier precedents and military papers. The book also delves into the revenue policies established for the land, such as the ideas behind credit land, bounty land, preemption rights, military tracts, and the administration of land. Ultimately, the author demonstrates that the national land system did not originate in a vacuum, but rather was the culmination of time-tested methods and ideas, consistently refined over time. This book will appeal to anyone interested in the history of land management in the United States
