Hispano forestry: land grants and the U.S. Forest Service in northern New Mexico

Auteur :
WRIGHT, J.B.

Description :
During the Spanish (1607-1820) and Mexican (1821-1846) periods, some 35 million acres in northern New Mexico were distributed to individuals and communities as land grants. Once the American era began in 1848, however, ownership of these areas fell into dispute. The effects of this loss, which principally benefitted the U.S. government, is still seen today. - (DWG)
