1*Purdue University. I want to thank Steve Cheung for first suggesting that I examine the California gold rush period and Yoram Barzel and Chris Hall for their helpful comments on earlier drafts. Thanks must also go to the National Science Foundation, the Foundation for Research in Economics and Education at U.C.L.A. and the Krannert Graduate School at Purdue University, all of whom assisted financially. This paper is part of a larger study of property rights and contracts soon to be published as A Theory of Property Rights by the Iowa State University Press.
