A land claim is the instrument by which a person may begin to homestead a parcel of land deeded to him by the United States of America.....these instruments were used during different eras so that the government could interest honest pilgrims in land acquisition that the government was anxious to populate. The reasons are varied and many....history tells us that this vehicle was often as not subverted by dishonest persons who went to extremes to acquire large tracts of land by running the honest folk off or outright killing them off. It was another government program, however, that proved both beneficial to the nation as a whole while costing many an individual "prospector" his life or livelihood, while the stronger and more powerful interests won out.
