I've written a book!
I've taken the articles about private land claims in Missouri that I have written over the past several years and have put them together in a .pdf "book."
This book, however, is not simply a collection of those previous articles. By the time I finished with the last article in March 2022, I had more information than I did when I started, so I rewrote some of the earlier articles, supplemented others and have included additional material.
This book has been written particularly for Missouri land
surveyors as an educational resource, so that they can be fully informed about
these oddities within the fabric of the orderly system of public land surveys, but other land professionals, genealogists and local history enthusiasts may also
find the information useful.
The book was completed in March 2023 and is now available for download on the website of the Missouri Society of Professional Surveyors on the "Resources" page:
