Download or read book Texas Land Grants 1750 1900 written by John Martin Davis, Jr. and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2016-08-19 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Texas land grants were one of the largest public land distributions in American history. Induced by titles and estates, Spanish adventurers ventured into the frontier, followed by traders and artisans. West Texas was described as "Great Space of Land Unknown" and Spanish sovereigns wanted to fill that void. Gaining independence from Spain, Mexico launched a land grant program with contractors who recruited emigrants. After the Texas Revolution in 1835, a system of Castilian edicts and English common law came into use. Lacking hard currency, land became the coin of the realm and the Republic gave generous grants to loyal first families and veterans. Through multiple homestead programs, more than 200 million acres had been deeded by the end of the 19th century. The author has relied on close examination of special acts, charters and litigation, including many previously overlooked documents.

Book excerpt: The first edition of A History of Texas was the outgrowth of the author's having taught courses in Texas history to junior and senior students in a teachers' college. In the revised edition it has been the aim of the authors to retain those characteristics of the earlier edition which insured the book's generous reception as the basal text in the schools of the state as well as its liberal use by individuals and clubs in nonacademic quarters. Among those qualities are historical accuracy, interest, teachability, balance in emphasis, and perspective. With those factors are now combined the values which come with unit organization, previews, summaries, classified bibliographies, fresh maps and charts and numerous teaching aids."--from the Preface.

Texas at that time, regarded it "as the best sale ever made of land of a worthless quality and a disputable title."80 The payment of the $10,000,000 by the United States enabled Texas to clear away all of the old debt of the Republic and left it a handsome surplus in the treasury. Very little effort was made thereafter to sell any of the public land until the close of the Civil War. Acts were passed, however, in 1858 and 1860 which authorized the land commissioner to sell land scrip at the rate of one dollar an acre, which might be located on any part of the vacant and unappropriated public domain.31 It appears that only twenty-three sales, aggregating 10,506 acres, were made in accordance with these laws, and they were only, therefore, of minor importance. But in 1876, the state government was once more pressed with a debt amounting to nearly $5,000,000,82 and again it looked to its public lands for relief from the burden. Consequently a law was passed in 1879 which set apart all of the vacant land in forty-four counties to be sold at the rate of fifty cents an acre and directed that one-half of the proceeds from such sales should be credited to the school fund and the other half applied to the "payment and extinguishment of the bonded debt of the state as fast as the same became due and payable."33 So urgent was the necessity for selling this land that "any person, firm or corporation" desiring to purchase it was authorized to do so upon having it surveyed by a public surveyor. The land could not be sold, however, in tracts of more than 640 acres. As a source of revenue, this method of disposition was not a very important one, especially when the results that were obtained under it are...
