Course Catalog Description:: Origins and evolution of land ownership in the United States.
Class Description:: Through lectures and field trips the course will examine the nature and history of land ownership in the United States with special reference to Minnesota. The focus will be on the mechanistic, legalistic, and historic characteristics of land ownership not the uses to which land has been put or the philosophical, sociological, or economic aspects of land ownership. More attention will be paid to the published and unpublished primary materials that characterizes the nature of land ownership in the United States than to the secondary literature. The course is designed for relatively senior undergraduates, both majors and non-majors, and graduates, anyone interested in understanding the role that land ownership plays in our modern society and has played in our nation's history. In Fall 2011 the course content will change to emphasize field trips - on Friday afternoons 1.00-3.00 pm
