Beskrivelse af The Yazoo Land Companies
The Yazoo Land Companies by Charles Homer Haskins is a detailed historical account of the Yazoo land scandal that occurred in the late 18th century. The book covers the fraudulent land deals made by four land companies in Georgia, which resulted in the transfer of more than 35 million acres of land to private individuals and speculators. Haskins provides a thorough analysis of the political and economic factors that led to the scandal, including the corrupt practices of Georgia's governor and legislature. The book also delves into the legal battles that ensued as a result of the scandal, including the landmark Supreme Court case of Fletcher v. Peck. The Yazoo Land Companies is a comprehensive and insightful look into a pivotal moment in American history, shedding light on the dangers of political corruption and the importance of maintaining the integrity of the land and property rights.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
