Paperback or Softback. Etat : New. Homesteading the Plains: Toward a New History. Book.

Paperback. Etat : New. Homesteading the Plains offers a bold new look at the history of homesteading, overturning what for decades has been the orthodox scholarly view. The authors begin by noting the striking disparity between the public's perception of homesteading as a cherished part of our national narrative and most scholars' harshly negative and dismissive treatment.Homesteading the Plains reexamines old data and draws from newly available digitized records to reassess the current interpretation's four principal tenets: Homesteading was a minor factor in farm formation, with most western farmers purchasing their land; most homesteaders failed to prove their claims; the homesteading process was rife with corruption and fraud; and homesteading caused Indian land dispossession.
