This turbulent, vividly narrated story of the Maxwell Land Grant, a single tract of 1.7 million acres in northeastern New Mexico, shows how contending groups reinterpret the meaning of property to uphold their conflicting claims to land. The Southwest has been and continues to be the scene of a collision between land regimes with radically different cultural conceptions of the land's purpose. We meet Jicarilla Apaches, whose identity is rooted in a sense of place; Mexican governors and hacienda patrons seeking status as New World feudal magnates; "rings" of greedy territorial politicians on the make; women finding their own way in a man's world; Anglo homesteaders looking for a place to settle in the American West; and Dutch investors in search of gargantuan returns on their capital. The European and American newcomers all "mistranslated" the prior property regimes into new rules, to their own advantage and the disadvantage of those who had lived on the land before them. Their efforts to control the Maxwell Land Grant by wrapping it in their own particular myths of law and custom inevitably led to conflict and even violence as cultures and legal regimes clashed. 606 $aLand tenure$zNew Mexico$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aMaxwell Land Grant (N.M. and Colo.)$xHistory 607 $aNew Mexico$xHistory$y1848- 607 $aNew Mexico$xRace relations 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLand tenure$xHistory 676 $a978.9 700 $aMontoya$b Mari?a E.$f1964-$01051067 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455590503321 996 $aTranslating property$92481330 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01362nam 2200385 n 450 001 996385850703316 005 20221102112830.0 035 $a(CKB)1000000000608484 035 $a(EEBO)2240858417 035 $a(UnM)99841228 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000608484 100 $a19910322d1614 uy | 101 0 $aroa 135 $aurbn||||a|bb| 200 13$aVn abridgement de touts les ans del Roy Henrie le Sept$b[electronic resource] 205 $aOre nouelment imprimee. 210 $aLondon $cPrinted [by Adam Islip] for the Companie of Stationers$d1614.
