I don't know the whole story here. Maybe someone can tell me what the heck I'm missing, but I don't get it.

OMG. This is insane. The ranch owner bought the land from the gov't, but he has to SHARE IT??!?!

Grazing and water rights are the issue here. The Feds didn't transfer those to the new owner--indeed, under "beneficial use" laws and such, they may not have been able to transfer it without the consent of those who held the rights.

Aztlan and Reconquista are becoming politically imposed court imposed realities to be complied with. The claims for Spain announced by Cortez will be recognized.

...The battle began in 1960 after North Carolina timberman Jack Taylor bought the land, including the mountain...

He bought the land, stay the hell out!


...Taylor put up a fence and ordered that trespassers be shot. There were frequent reports of tensions and beatings between the ranch and the valley residents...

I find that a herd of rottweillers chewing at the fence weaken most people's desire to trespass, but I only have a few acres.

Residual claims for use MAY have its roots in the Treaty of Guadalupe.

I think many of the old Spanish land grants are still respected.

.....I don't know the whole story here....

For starters, rely on James Mitchner.

Read "Centenial" and "Texas" to get the flavor of the interaction between Mexicans and Americans early on.

Mitchner is long but he did the research on complex historical events.

Burn the trees and salt the ground.
