This document outlines several key land records and resources for researching family history related to land: 1) Census records can provide information on where a family lived. 2) Deeds contain details about land transactions like names and prices. 3) The Homestead Act of 1862 gave settlers ownership of land after living on it for 5 years. 4) Wills often mention the distribution of a deceased person's land among heirs. 5) The Bureau of Land Management website provides access to records of land grants and warrants from the U.S. government.

The Story of Federal Indian Law.
Federal Policy
There are 2 basic views regarding Indian tribes:
1. Indian tribes are here to stay and need a land base which needs to be protected.
2.
Tribes should disappear and their members absorbed into mainstream society.
The result is that for the last two hundred and twenty-five years federal policy regarding Indian affairs has been pendulum-like, swinging back and forth between assimilation and self-determination. This shift does not occur instantly, it rather resembles a continuum:
Assimilation____________________________________________Self-determination
The textbooks divide the history of federal Indian policy into several eras.
1.
Colonial Period – ended in 1820
Initially, European powers dealt with Indians through the use of treaties. After the American Revolution, the federal government continued this practice for two reasons: Non-Indian settlers needed land, and war weary from the American Revolution, the federal government wanted to ensure peaceful relations with Indians.
European powers, and later the federal government, took the role of a protector of the Indians from the settlers who wanted land. The U.S. Constitution gave Congress power over Indian affairs, so Congress passed a series of Trade and Intercourse Acts that made interactions with Indians subject to federal control.
2. Removal (1820-1850)
Generally, the non-Indian community believed that Indians would assimilate, become christianized and live in the European tradition. There were those, however, including Thomas Jefferson and his followers, who didn’t believe Indians and non-Indians could live together. Jefferson therefore urged voluntary removal of Indians to their own territory west of the Mississippi River.
Indians were moved from the southeast U.S. to Oklahoma, many of them dying along the way. This resulted in what has become known as the “trail of tears.” The move was termed “voluntary”, but under the circumstances, tribes were left with little choice other than to leave their homelands. By 1849, the eastern U.S. was almost entirely free of Indian tribes. The Bureau of Indian Affairs was then moved from the War Dept. to the Dept. of Interior.
3. Movement to Reservations (1850-1887)
Non-Indians began to move westward. The federal government created a policy of restricting tribes to reservations. Tribes were moved entirely or were granted portions of their land, with the bulk of the land going to the federal government through treaties that were often coerced or fraudulently induced.
When Indians were placed on reservations, Indian agents supervised their adaptation of non-Indian ways. Organized religions tried to christianize Indians and reservations were divided among the churches. There are many Baptist churches on reserv.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

10. • Homestead Act opened up settlement in the western United States, allowing any
American, including freed slaves, to put in a claim for up to 160 free acres of federal
land. By the end of the Civil War, 15,000 homestead claims had been established, and
more followed in the postwar years. Eventually, 1.6 million individual claims would
be approved; nearly ten percent of all government held property.
• The Homestead Act (May 20, 1862) set in motion a program of public land grants to
small farmers. Before the Civil War, the southern states had regularly voted against
homestead legislation because they correctly foresaw that the law would hasten the
settlement of western territory, ultimately adding to the number and political
influence of the Free states. This opposition to the homestead bill, as well as to other
internal improvements that could hasten western settlement. A homestead bill
passed the House in 1858 but was defeated by one vote in the Senate; the next year,
a similar bill passed both houses but was vetoed by President James Buchanan. In
1860, the Republican platform advocating homestead legislation.
11. • After the southern states had seceded, homestead legislation was
high on the Republican agenda. The Homestead Act of 1862 provided
that any adult citizen (or person intending to become a citizen) who
headed a family could qualify for a grant of 160 acres of public land
by paying a small registration fee and living on the land continuously
for five years. If the settler was willing to pay $1.25 an acre, he could
obtain the land after only six months’ residence.
• The Homestead Act remained in effect for more than 100 years. The
final claim, for 80 acres in southeastern Alaska, was approved in 1988
