ANCIENT LAND LAWS.
Redemption of HOmesteads by the Fir
Settlers of the West.

Redemption of HOmesteads by the First
Settlers of the West.
As an inducement for the opening
up of the country west of the Allie
ghany mountains, Immediately after
the independence of the United States
was secured, the Government of Vir-
ginia appointed three commissioners
to give certificates of settlement rights.
Building cabin and raising crop of
grain, however small, entitled the oc-
cupant to four hundred acres of land,
and a pre-emption right to one thou
sand acres more adjoining, to be Sc
cured by a land-office warrant. There
was" says writer upon this subject,
who claims to have seen a number of
these ''tomahawk rights" when a boy,
sat at an early period of our settle
ments, an inferior kind of land title,
denominated q ''tOmakawk right"
which was made by deadening few
trees near the head of a spring, and
marking the bark of some one or more
of them with the initials of the name
of the person who made the improve
ment." These early pre-emptors were
furnished, l learn from the same
source, with a covering for the feet
which now if seen would arouse sym
pathy for the wearer. The moccasins
in ordinary use caused but a few hours
labor to make them. This was done
by an instrument denominated
moccasin awl, which was made of the
back spring of an old clasp-knife
This awl, with it's buckhorn handle,
was an appendage, too, of every
shot-pouch strap, together with a roll
of buckskin for mending the mecca
sins. This was the labor of almost
every evening. They were sewed
together, and patched with deer skin
throngs, or whangs as they were COM
monty called. In cold weather the
moccasins were wellstuffed deers'
hair, or dry leaves, SO as to keep the
feet comfortably warm; but in wet
weather it W rs usually said that wear
ing them was "a decent way of going
barefooted;n and such was the fact,
owing to the spongy texture OF the
leather of which they are made.
