One Man's Sequential Land Alienation on the Great Plains
T HE study of the American frontier has long been dominated by a search for generalizations and abstractions, the most famous of which is the frontier thesis of Frederick Jackson Turner. This search either ignores or gives little importance to the role of individual settlers who went westward, took up land, and opened farms and ranches. The changing landscapes that resulted were not abstractions, but rather were the consequence of human toil and …
Patterns From Land Alienation Maps∗
Land entry and land patent data available in the original Land Office Tract Books and in the Numerical Index provide a seldom used datum plane for geographical investigation which is useful in developing the historical settlement geography of a region. Patterns of entries and patents in the Nebraska Sand Hills reflect restrictions imposed on man by the environment, the process of sequential settlement, abandoned geographical features, and other p…
Use and Abuse of the Timber Culture Act∗
The Timber Culture Act was one of the land laws used to enter and remove land from the public domain between 1873 and 1891. The Act was one aspect of the total adjustment necessitated in the settlers' occupance of the central grasslands of the United States, where the rainfall decreases rapidly westward. Tying the planting of trees to a gift of 160 acres of land was intended to increase the tree cover in order to modify the climate and provide a …
Forest Lieu Selections in the Sand Hills of Nebraska∗

The cattlemen chose locations they desired for selectors to patent “in lieu'’of forest land, and then purchas…
