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.
