Overview
\"The General Mining Act of 1872, which declared all valuable mineral deposits on public lands to be free and open to exploration and purchase, has had a controversial impact on the western environment as, under the protection of federal law, various twentieth-century entrepreneurs have manipulated it in order to dump waste, cut timber, create resorts, and engage in a host of other activities damaging to the environment. In this thorough analysis, legal historian Gordon Morris Bakken traces the roots of the mining law and details the way its unintended consequences have shaped American legal thought and how it has informed much of the lore of the settlement of the West\"--P. [4] of cover.
