Excerpt from Case of James H. Peck: Substance of an Argument Delivered Before the District Court of the United States, at the First Session Thereof, Held at St. Louis, on the Fourth Monday in November, 1824

It was at the suggestion and request of the Judge of the district court that this note of argument has been written and submitted to him. The con siderations already mentioned have induced the friends of the claims to be lieve that it should, through the medium of the press, be laid before the public. The claimants do not fear discussion or investigation, but, on the contrary, invite both. If the argument here offered be sound, it ought to have its due effect; itit be fallacious, by publishing it, all hope is extinguish ed of its errors escaping detection.

We have subjoined to this report a few documents, translated from the original Spanish, which, as far as we know, have not before been published in the English language, and which sustain or illustrate some of our princi pal positions.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book challenges historical assumptions about land ownership in the West. By examining legal records from the late 18th and early 19th centuries, the author convincingly argues that Spanish and French officials often issued large land concessions in Louisiana without requiring recipients to settle on or farm the land. This practice occurred despite laws requiring settlement, which the author argues were more aspirational than functional. The author also discusses the process by which these concessions were later reviewed and confirmed by American officials, which sheds light on how landownership in the region was shaped. This deeply researched book will change the way scholars, policymakers, and landowners view the history of property rights in one of the most important regions of the United States. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781333347338_0
