A History of American Land Law is the only comprehensive treatise
on this important subject. In Volume 1: English Origins and the
American Colonial Experience, the author traces the rise of
land-related customs and laws in western civilization generally and
in the British Isles specifically. The evolution of Celtic, Roman,
Anglo-Saxon and Norman laws into the celebrated English common law,
and the transmission of this law to the English North American
colonies, are described in detail. The narrative reveals the many
ways this centuries-long story touched the lives of ordinary
people. In Volume 2: Land Law in the American States, the text
describes and documents for each state to what extent the English
common law and land law became part of that state's basic
jurisprudence. In addition, one chapter shows how American states
have considered comprehensively reforming certain areas of land
law, and the final chapter describes the development of and changes
in dozens of American land law topics in modern times. About the
author: David A. Thomas is Rex E. Lee Endowed Chair and Professor
of Law Emeritus at Brigham Young University's J. Reuben Clark Law

approximately 50 books and dozens of law review articles, mostly in
