Uncover how colonial land grants shaped New Jersey’s map, power structure, and settlement patterns.
This nonfiction account traces how grants, surveys, and early deeds forged the borders, titles, and governance that defined East Jersey. Through a close-reading of charters, patents, and contemporary records, the book explains how the Duke of York’s land grant evolved into the modern landscape of New Jersey. It blends legal documents with narrative passages about explorers, surveyors, and early settlers to reveal the practical mechanics of establishing property, authority, and community in a new world.
Beyond the basics of land, the work delves into the people and processes that tied land to power. It shows how boundaries were drawn, how governors and laws were created, and how these roots still echo in today’s state. Readers will encounter real-world accounts from the period, including how land was divided, disputes over titles, and the social and economic life that grew up around these grants.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
