The split estate and property rights in the "public lands" of the West. Hage was a rancher and historian of these topics, who fought the federal taking of his grazing rights near Tonopah, Nevada, through the courts. After his death, his daughters won those lawsuits, vindicating his arguments & analysis -- though of the course the federal government considers itself immortal, and can always find another court to hear another appeal. Some have told us they find the somewhat reorganized second edition more useful & definitive. 265 pp. Reduced from $112.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. "First Edition" stated. No mention of second edition. This copy has NO dust jacket. Rancher Wayne Hage demonstrates and documents that private owners -- ranchers, miners, and others -- have established private property rights through possession and proper filings administered under state law to much of the Western land which those far away in the east identify as "public lands," and which the federal government does not own because it has never purchased them with the permission of the appropriate state legislature, as required under the federal Constitution. What is widely misunderstood in other locales is the way "split title" or "split estate" works in the arid west, where one party can own the water and grazing rights to a sizable acreage, while another party may file on and thus own the mining rights to the same land, which land will often still remain "public" in the sense that these owners of limited rights must still allow free access to hunters, etc. Hage was a rancher and historian of these topics, who fought the taking of his grazing rights by arrogant federal bureaucrats near Tonopah, Nevada, through the courts. After his death, his daughters won those lawsuits, vindicating his arguments & analysis, though of course the federal government never runs out of funds, or of other courts to which it can and will appeal any adverse ruling, world without end. 267 pp. including index.

PLEASE NOTE: Since today's mail carriers have been known to dump even insured parcels on front porches or on office hallway floors, or to leave them wedged in screen doors, whereupon the postal authorities have DECLINED to pay our insurance claim when such a parcel goes missing, sneering that such parcels were "delivered as addressed," we now ship all parcels valued at $90 or more "signature required," at our expense. Buyers are responsible to provide a secure mailing address, and should be on the lookout for a "notice of attempt to deliver," should no adult signer be available when the mailman calls. If such a notice is ignored, USPS will generally return our package to us after about 12 days. This signed copy now reduced from $310. Inscribed by Author(s).

Soft cover. Condition: As New. No Jacket. Rear wrap painting "Stewards of the Range" by Jack N. Swanson, C.A. (illustrator). 3rd Edition. This is an unread/as new copy of the 1994 trade paperback Third Edition, dated "22 Mar 00," inscribed in blue ballpoint to a named couple "Helen and I thoroughly enjoyed our trip to New Zealand - Australia with you!" and signed "Wayne Hage." Author Hage demonstrates and documents that private owners -- ranchers, miners, and others -- have established private property rights through possession and proper filings administered under state law to much of the Western land which those far away in the East identify as "public lands," and which the federal government does not own because it has never purchased them with the permission of the appropriate state legislature, as required under the federal Constitution.

After his death, his daughters won those lawsuits, vindicating his arguments & analysis, though of course the arrogant, intransigent, and soulless pony-tailed federal government fops never run out of funds, or of other courts to which they can and will appeal any adverse ruling, world without end. 265 pp. including Index, now reduced from $230.

Author Hage has inscribed to "Harold Steen / Thanks for your help in making this book possible" and signed to the front pastedown, where his signature is largely hidden under the jacket front flap, as was his habit. Harold K. "Pete" Steen (born 1935) was a forest historian, executive director of the Forest History Society, and author of "The U.S. Forest Service: A History" (Seattle: University of Washington Press.) He and his book merit four citations in the Index, here.
