| Summary |
"This history of Texas land grants reveals details of one of the largest state land distributions in American history. Induced by titles and estates, Spanish adventurers established themselves in the frontier, followed by traders and artisans. Mexico launched a land grant program through contractors who recruited emigrants to settle on their holdings and costs and dues"-- Provided by publisher |
