Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the argument of William H. Standish before Congress, explaining the Beaubien title to the Lake Front Lands in Chicago and argues why they should be granted to the Beaubiens by Congress and not donated to Chicago. The land in question was ceded by Native American tribes in 1795, but was not entered as a reservation until 1824. The author explains that during the years between 1812 and 1816, when this land was not officially a military post, Jean B. Beaubien, the father of the claimants, had purchased an early settlement claim and resided on the land. The author argues that Beaubien's purchase and settlement gave him equitable title to the land under the pre-emption and other land laws of the time, and that this title remained in force until the land was finally proclaimed for sale in 1835. The book presents legal arguments and evidence, including affidavits, to support the Beaubiens' claim to the land, and concludes that the government has a duty to convey the land to the Beaubiens rather than to the City of Chicago. The significance of this book lies in its detailed examination of the legal and historical complexities surrounding the ownership of this valuable piece of land and the author's persuasive argument for recognizing the Beaubiens' prior equitable title.
