Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents an in-depth analysis of the legal battle between the Holland Company, a group of land speculators, and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania over the sale of lands lying north and west of the rivers Ohio and Allegheny and Conewango Creek. The case hinged on the interpretation of a proviso attached to the ninth section of the Act of April 3, 1792, which the Holland Company argued released them from the obligation to perform the condition of settling and improving the land annexed to the sale of the lands. The author examines the facts relative to the hostile state of the country during the Indian War and the persevering endeavours of the Holland Company to accomplish the settlement prescribed by the Act. They further explore the construction of the proviso, as well as the propriety of proceeding by mandamus. This book will be of value to legal scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the history of land ownership in the United States.
