Echoes of a Loose Land Grant Era in Northern Pacific Case
An NEA Service review recalls a 19th century style land grab as Congress probes the Northern Pacific railroad claim to 3 million acres of public forest. D. F. McGowan denounces an $270 million value in transfers for a $70 million rail line, with 50 million acres allegedly held back for sale. A 1880s reclassification scheme and timber-right deals surface as witnesses cite questionable titles and improper land exchanges. The piece frames this as part of a broader pattern of fraud in public lands warranting reform.
