The Role of Land Grants in NM History
Monday, March 27, 2023
Under Spanish rule lands were given to citizens, not in fee, as by the laws of England, but by federal tenure. The title remained in the king and the subject took the rents and profits, while on forfeiture all passed to the sovereign. Learn the role of Land Grants in NM History from Robert J. Torrez, New Mexico State Historian from 1987 until his retirement in December 2000. Limit: 40. No fee.
