Description
When the United States acquired New Mexico by invasion and conquest, it inherited a land grant problem of considerable magnitude. This problem continued for decades until 1870 when Congress suddenly declined to act at all on any New Mexico grant claim including the 1841 Maxwell Land Grant which embraced almost two million acres.
