"United States Mineral Lands" is a comprehensive legal resource from 1881, detailing the laws governing the occupancy and disposal of mineral lands in the United States. This volume includes significant decisions from federal and state courts pertaining to cases arising under these laws, as well as the regulations and rulings of the Land Department.

It provides invaluable insights into the legal framework of the era, featuring forms, a glossary, and rules of practice relevant to the administration and management of mineral resources. A crucial reference for legal scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the historical development of natural resource law in America, this book offers a detailed snapshot of late 19th-century policies and practices related to mineral land management. Its enduring relevance lies in its meticulous documentation of the legal precedents and administrative procedures that shaped the utilization of the nation's natural resources.
