Translating Property: The Maxwell Land Grant and the Conflict Over Land in the American West, 1840-1900 New edition
Maria E. Montoya
When American settlers arrived in the southwestern borderlands, they assumed that the land was unencumbered by property claims. But, as Maria Montoya shows, the Southwest was no empty quarter waiting to be parceled up. Claims were contested by Native Americans who had lived on the land for generations.
