Los negocios con la tierra pública en la frontera del rí­o Salado del Norte. Santiago del Estero, 1850-1880

Abstract

We inscribe this article in the new studies of land and procure to solve some questions related to the occupation of the ground beyond the bonaerense's campaign; we will try to make a rapprochement to the big processes of appropriation and transfer of land in the North Salado border, in the Matará district, made by the local socio-political elite. We will analyze the mechanisms used to legally access the property of land and the business between the state and the individuals which were born with the new territories at disposal and considered "public land".
