This book discusses the historical claim brought by the estate of George Washington for compensation over lands lost due to conflicting grants made by the United States. The author begins by detailing the history of Washington's land ownership in the Virginia military district of Ohio, and the process by which his estate lost the lands to junior, conflicting surveys. The author then presents the argument made by Washington's estate for reimbursement, and the legal and historical precedents that support the claim. The book concludes with a discussion of the significance of the case, and the implications of the government's failure to honor its obligations to Washington's estate. This book will be of interest to scholars of American history, law, and politics, as well as anyone interested in the life and legacy of George Washington.
