See farm, farmer; servitude" Servitude in the same reference is defined as 1. "The condition of being subjected to another person as a servant or slave. Slavery . . . etc. 2. A charge or burden resting on one estate for the benefit of another estate, similar to an easement." The upshot sounds like the reference is accurate.Urlnotesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5748604.post-81705335467184711202011-06-12T13:09:27.249-06:002011-06-12T13:09:27.249-06:00It seems that almost all comments assume that stat...It seems that almost all comments assume that statutes enacted following settlement of the West trump the rights which were granted under pre-existing federal and state laws during settlement. Wayne Hage proved in the Court of Federal Claims that that's not the case in Nevada and probably other states, Hage v US. I believe the court determined that Hage owned the forage around his private waters on federal land, and that final resolution in state and federal court will determine that no grazing permit is required by long-established ranches for the use of their adjudicated forage adjacent to their private waters within the borders of their respective rangeland.Clinton Bnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5748604.post-41540619843528475382011-06-12T09:22:36.079-06:002011-06-12T09:22:36.079-06:00Very interesting.

Is the federal domination of the West going to have similar permanent harm the same way?

If that is the case there is meat in the argument.

The image of sharecropping was always associated with strife and the presence of class structure. There was always a image of hopelessness. Unlike some references the relationship was not of poor black families after the Civil War. The poor white families probably outnumbered the blacks by a large percentage. Louisiana history is perhaps the best historical framework to study the subjectd. The political machine that evolved from the conditions of those people was legend. Very insightful reference!BentonW.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5748604.post-89218095083152596292011-06-12T07:31:02.629-06:002011-06-12T07:31:02.629-06:00We have come to depend on DuBois and Wilmeth to co...We have come to depend on DuBois and Wilmeth to come to a logical agreement so we can hang our hat on it and move forward.
