Description

Land Grants and Lawsuits in Northern New Mexico presents a comprehensive and clear account of clashing legal systems. Thought to be the definitive book on New Mexico land grants, it’s continuously used as a text in southwestern studies courses.

This edition features a new introduction by Malcolm Ebright and stunning new cover art by Glen Strock. Contained within are eight case studies of specific land grants, in conjunction with background material at the making of Spanish and Mexican land grants and their adjudication by the USA. Ebright draws on his wide experience as a historian and attorney to inspect the history of New Mexico’s land grants from their antecedents in Spain and Mexico down to give-day land and water lawsuits. With detail illuminated by historical context, Ebright narrates specific cases involving fraud, forgery, and injustice, in addition to courageous acts by land grant communities.
