Excerpt from Congressional Grants of Land in Aid of Railways The subject of land grants in aid of railways, as well as of many other features of our public land policy, has been practi cally neglected by historians. I found, therefore, that my work had to be done from the ground up and that an investigation had to be made of many collateral aspects of land legislation. Some aid has been rendered by various railroad histories and 9 articles on the public lands, but in general only the original ff sources have been used.

Railroads and Land Grant Policy: A Study in Government Intervention attempts to replace a major part of the railroad land grant legend (according to which the granting of federal and state land to private railroad firms benefitted these firms more than it contributed to society as a whole) with some real numbers and analysis. An attempt is made to put the income and wealth distribution impact of the railroad land grants in perspective, but thorough analysis of this issue is not undertaken. The primary question this study does try to illuminate is that of the effect of the railroad land grants on economic efficiency. This emphasis was chosen because it seems clear that improvement of economic efficiency was the major goal that Congress and various state legislatures sought to attain, and thus the examination of economic efficiency questions is fundamental to evaluation of railroad land grant policy. This study will not completely replace the railroad land grant legend (because much is not covered here), but it does represent a considerable diminution of that legend.
