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. In this in-depth analysis, Gordon Morris Bakken traces the roots of the mining law and details the way its unintended consequences have shaped western legal thought.
