Taking the Land to Make the City
Author: Mary P. Ryan
Publisher: University of Texas Press
ISBN: 147731783X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 465
Book Description
The history of the United States is often told as a movement westward, beginning at the Atlantic coast and following farmers across the continent. But cities played an equally important role in the country’s formation. Towns sprung up along the Pacific as well as the Atlantic, as Spaniards and Englishmen took Indian land and converted it into private property. In this reworking of early American history, Mary P. Ryan shows how cities—specifically San Francisco and Baltimore—were essential parties to the creation of the Republics of the United States and Mexico. Baltimore and San Francisco share common roots as early trading centers whose coastal locations immersed them in an international circulation of goods and ideas. Ryan traces their beginnings back to the first human habitation of each area, showing how the juggernaut toward capitalism and nation-building could not commence until Europeans had taken the land for city building. She then recounts how Mexican ayuntamientos and Anglo American city councils pioneered a prescient form of municipal sovereignty that served as both a crucible for democracy and a handmaid of capitalism. Moving into the nineteenth century, Ryan shows how the citizens of Baltimore and San Francisco molded landscape forms associated with the modern city: the gridded downtown, rudimentary streetcar suburbs, and outlying great parks. This history culminates in the era of the Civil War when the economic engines of cities helped forged the East and the West into one nation.

The Land-Holder's Assistant and Land-Office Guide
Author: John Kilty
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781733057301
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 750
Book Description
The system of land tenure in Maryland has its roots in the policies and procedures of the Lords Baltimore, who were granted almost royal powers by the King of England. The province of Maryland was, in essence, a great land market, and the Land-Office managed the original granting of that land on behalf of the Proprietors.But its functions were obscure, even to those active in the market.In this completely new publication of the original 1808 classic, Kilty's engaging style shines with new easy-to-read typefaces and layout. This is not a mere reprint; it is a completely new publication of the original text, with a new foreword by Joel Leininger and new indices.
