Railroads and Clearcuts This carefully researched book examines the history of Congress's 1864 Northern Pacific Railroad Land Grant to railroad companies - that provided millions of acres of land to the railroads with specific limitations that have been historically ignored. The legacy it has created is one of corruption, abuse and lies. "This is the story of the biggest land grant in American history, larger than 10 Connecticuts, and how the timber companies got hold of huge forests to clearcut ... A revealing report of government giveaways and corporate action," -- Ralph Nader. "A worthy contribution to the continuing debate over use of public lands." -- Publishers Weekly Nonfiction. 216 pages, 6"x9" softcover, black-and-white and color photos |
