School Trust Lands Encyclopedia
A state-by-state reference on the federal land grants, constitutional architecture, permanent funds, and ongoing fiduciary disputes that shape America's school trust lands.
Each entry traces one state's trust from its admission act through its present-day corpus, governance, and litigation. The encyclopedia is organized into six era cohorts — the Founding Floor, statehood without the federal grant, the Northwest Ordinance template, the Antebellum doubling, Reconstruction and the Western stack, and the twentieth-century high-water mark — mirroring the synthesizing argument in Schools of the Republic.
