John Greig: Land Agent and Speculator

Neil A. McNall

Business History Review, 1959, vol. 33, issue 4, 524-534

Abstract: The process whereby enormous tracts of agricultural hinterland passed from original tract owners to individual settlers was facilitated by skilled mediators. These owner-agents incurred great risks, operated boldly on none-too-firm credit, and, sometimes, profited handsomely. Their task was to open new frontiers and sell America to Americans.
