		By the time the Homestead Act was in place no land was available in the public domain on the humid East Coast, and available land in the semi-arid Great Plains and arid west was not particularly suited to 160-acre tracts.
		Cardboard "houses" made from boxes, only 14 by 16 inches big, were placed on the land and sworn to by their "builders" that a good board house "14 by 16" (the law assuming the dimensions to be in feet) had been built on the land as required by the act.

	Lifeboat Situations - Mises Institute (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		To those who believe that such a homesteading principle is unduly harsh, we may reply (a) that we are already in an intolerably harsh and fortunately rare situation where no solution is going to be humane or comforting; and (b) that any other principle of allocation would be truly intolerable.
		Yes, for again, our homestead principle of property right comes into play: i.e., the first person who reaches the plank "owns" it for the occasion, and the second person throwing him off is at the very least a violator of the formerâs property and perhaps also liable for prosecution for an act of murder.
		The error here on the part of the "contextualist" libertarians is to confuse the question of the moral course of action for the person in such a tragic situation with the totally separate question of whether or not his seizing of lifeboat or plank space by force constitutes an invasion of someone elseâs property right.

	Chapter 15 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The Homestead Act's demand for more generous treatment of Western settlers had originated in the slave states of the Southwest, and as late as the session of 1852-53 the debate over its content was not between proslavery and antislavery groups but between agrarian Western Democrats and Eastern capitalists.
		But the Homestead Bill's strongest appeal to Western voters lay in its exaltation of the yeoman farmer and his fee-simple empire, the mythical entities which had meant so much to Crevecoeur, Jefferson, and Andrew Jackson, whom supporters of the Homestead Bill invoked as authorities on the architecture of American development.
		Grow seized on these symbols in the 1850s and appealed to the imaginations of masses of voters; laboring farmers were increasingly viewed as honorable and independent rather than lower-class, and for this reason the free-soilers' vision of the agricultural utopia's classless society--landed property cultivated by freemen--had no place for the Negro.
