Speculation Lands

podrock — 10/5/2023 6:42:21 PM (archived)

A few years ago I was doing research about a property my in-laws own in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, digging way back into the history of the area, eventually finding the earliest maps ever made of the region. Doing so, I learned about "Speculation Lands", Royal Land Grants, and the like. It is an interesting history.
