A Quantitative Determination of a Second Linear League Used in New Spain
A linear league of about 4.19 km has often been cited as the only linear land league used in New Spain in the 16th Century, leading to significant underestimations of distances reported for that period. Data analysis of an itinerary written in the 1590's indicates a second Castilian league of 5.572 km was also used by travelers in New Spain. If applied where appropriate, this additional league evaluation should benefit historical geographical res…
The Linear League in North America∗
Seven different linear leagues—five land and two marine—were used as either cadastral or distance measures in colonial North America. French land leagues included the lieue commune (4.4445 km), grande lieue ordinaire (ca. 4.9 km), and lieue de poste (3.8981 km). The Spaniards used the legua legal (ca. 4.2 km) and legua común (5.5727 km). The five land leagues maintained remarkable linear consistency at official levels despite variations in applic…
The Elusive Spanish League
Almost everyone who has tried to evaluate distances in Spanish colonial North America from sixteenth-century documents has experienced the many frustrations of transferring Spanish colonial leagues to specific geographic distances on the ground (or, for that matter, at sea). The length of the leagues mentioned varies widely, especially where travel distances are concerned. One reason lies in the varying distance estimates attributed by explorers …
