Foster Koopmann: The only exception to this new policy was in Alaska, for which the law allowed homesteading until 1986[4].The last claim under the Homestead Act was made by Kenneth Deardorff for 80 acres (32 hectares) of land on the Stony River in southwestern Alaska. He fulfilled all requirements of the Homestead Act in 1979, but he did not actually receive his deed until May 1988. Therefore, he is the last person to receive the title to land claimed under the provisions of the Homestead AcThe Homestead Act was much abused[4]. The intent of the Homestead Act was to grant land for agriculture. However, in the arid areas west of the Rocky Mountains, 640 acres (2.6 km²) was generally too little land for a viable farm (at least prior to major public investments in irrigation projects). In these areas, homesteads were instead used to control resources, especially water....Show more

Todd Stogner: Then came perhaps the defining play of the game: faced with third down and five yards to go from their own 44-yard line with 1:15 remaining, Giants Quarterback Eli Manning avoided what looked like a sack and completed a 32 yard pass to wide receiver David Tyree who made a leaping catch! by pinning the ball on his helmet which put them at New England's 24 yard-line. Four plays later, New York wide receiver Plaxico Burress caught the winning touchdown with 0:35 left.[13] Giants quarterback Eli Manning, who threw both touchdown passes in the fourth quarter, was named the Most Valuable Player.The telecast was the most-watched Super Bowl of all time, with an average of 97.5 million viewers in the United States and 148.3 million total viewers watched some part of the game. The broadcast achieved its highest Nielsen ratings (43.3) for the game since Super Bowl XXXIV. It was also the second most-watched TV program of all time in the United States....Show more
Marylee Lucks: The Giants head coach was Tom Coughlin. The Patriots were coached by Bill Belichick. The tagline for Super Bowl XLII was "Who Wants It More?"The game, held on February 3, 2008 at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona,[11] was a rematch of the final game of the regular season! . In that contest, the Patriots won 38â€"35 to complete the first perfe! ct regular season since the aforementioned 1972 Dolphins team, and the first one since the league expanded to a 16-game regular season schedule in 1978. Thus, New England entered Super Bowl XLII as 12-point favorites.The first three quarters of Super Bowl XLII were largely a defensive battle, as both teams combined for only 10 points, with the Patriots leading 7â€"3 entering into the final quarter. New York finally scored their first touchdown with 11:05 left in the game to take a 10â€"7 lead. New England eventually responded with a touchdown of their own to take a 14-10 lead with 2:42 left....Show more

Dorinda Metzer: Previous trivia answer from Monday June 23,2008 - Homestead ActThe Homestead Act was a United States Federal law that gave an applica! nt freehold title to 160 acres (one quarter section or about 65 hectares) of undeveloped land outside of the original 13 colonies. The new law required three steps: file an application, improve the land, and file for deed of title. Anyone who had never taken up arms against the U.S. Government, including freed slaves, could file an application and improvements to a local land office. The Act was signed into law by President Abraham Lincoln on May 20, 1862[1][2][3][4]. Eventually 1.6 million homesteads were granted and 270,000,000 acres (1,100,000 km²) were privatized between 1862 and 1986, a total of 10% of all lands in the United States...Show more

Sherita Gallati: There was no systematic method used to evaluate claims under the Homestead Act. Land offices would rely on affidavits from witnesses that the claimant had lived on the land for the required period of! time and made the required improvements. In practice, some of these wi! tnesses were bribed or otherwise collaborated with the claimant[citation needed]. In any case the land was turned into farms.Although not necessarily fraud, it was common practice for all the children of a large family who were eligible to claim nearby land as soon as possible. After a few generations a family could build up quite sizable estatesRelated acts in other countriesThe act was later imitated with some modifications by Canada in the form of the Dominion Lands Act. Similar actsâ€"usually termed the Selection Actsâ€"were passed in the various Australian colonies in the 1860s, beginning in 1861 in New South Wales....Show more

Sol Bayn: A common scheme was for an individual! acting as a front for a large cattle operation to file for a homestead surrounding a water source under the pretense that the land was being used as a farm. Once granted, use of that water source would be denied to other cattle ranchers, effectively closing off the adjacent public land to competition[citation needed]. This method could also be used to gain ownership of timber and oil-producing land, as the Federal government charged royalties for extraction of these resources from public lands. On the other hand, homesteading schemes were generally pointless for land containing "locatable minerals", such as gold and silver, which could be controlled through mining claims and for which the Federal government did not charge royalties....Show more

Manual Burtis: The Homestead act was intended to liberalize the homesteading requirements of the Preemption Act of 1841. The "yeoman farmer" ideal was powerful in American political history, and plans for expanding their numbers through a homestead act were rooted in the 1850s. The South resisted, fearing the increase in free farmers would threaten plantation slavery.[6][7] Two men stood out as greatly responsible for the passage of the Homestead Act: George Henry Evans and Horace Greeley[8][9]. Agitation for free land started in 1844, when several bills began to be introduced unsuccessfully until 1862[10]. After the South seceded and their delegations left Congress in 1861, the path was clear of obstacles, and the act was passedThe end of homesteadingThe Federal Land Policy and Management! Act of 1976 ended homesteading[4][12]; the government believed that the best use of public homes was for them to remain in government control....Show more
