A Treatise on the Public Land System of the United States George W Spaulding

Mining historian Kerby Jackson introduces us to a work on Public Land Law history in this important re-issue of Spaulding's "A Treatise on the Public Land System of the United States: With Land Laws, Rulings of the Departments and Decisions of the Courts". Unavailable since 1884, this publication offers rare insights into the early Public Land System, the 1862 Homestead Act, 1872 General Mining Law and other land disposal laws. At over 550 pages, this is considered one of the historical masterpieces on the subject of early Public Land Law.
