This book offers an analytical explanation for the origins of and
change in property institutions on the American frontier during the
nineteenth century. Its scope is interdisciplinary, integrating
insights from political science, economics, law and history. This
book shows how claim clubs - informal governments established by
squatters in each of the major frontier sectors of agriculture,
mining, logging and ranching - substituted for the state as a
source of private property institutions and how they changed the
course of who received a legal title, and for what price,
throughout the nineteenth century. Unlike existing analytical
studies of the frontier that emphasize one or two sectors, this
book considers all major sectors, as well as the relationship
between informal and formal property institutions, while also
proposing a novel theory of emergence and change in property
institutions that provides a framework to interpret the complicated
history of land laws in the United States.
