Conclusion. 330 $aIn 1824 and 1830, over one hundred thousand acres across Iowa, Minnesota and Nebraska were set aside as a home for descendants of Native American women and white traders and trappers. The treaties that established these so-called Half Breed Tracts left undefined exactly who held claim to the land, and by the end of the 1850s, settlers and speculators had appropriated virtually every acre for themselves. But in an era of ravenous westward expansion, why did the process of dispossession require three decades of debate and legal maneuvering? As David Ress argues, the fate of the Half Breed Tracts challenges longstanding ideas about land tenure and community in early national America. 606 $aUnited States$xHistory 606 $aImperialism 606 $aLaw$xHistory 606 $aUS History 606 $aImperialism and Colonialism 606 $aLegal History 615 0$aUnited States$xHistory. 615 0$aImperialism. 615 0$aLaw$xHistory. 615 14$aUS History. 615 24$aImperialism and Colonialism. 615 24$aLegal History. 676 $a333.10973 676 $a977.00497 700 $aRess$b David$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0942295 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484848903321 996 $aThe Half Breed Tracts in Early National America$92848801 997 $aUNINA
