[QUOTE="GoWyo, post: 1833682, member: 38220"] "Public land" as a legal term was land that was open to homesteading. Forest Reserves usually withdrew land from homesteading so the primary National Forest inholdings were homesteaded prior to withdrawal for the Forest Reserves (now National Forest) or were mining claims under the General Mining Law of 1866. The Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 withdrew most of the BLM-managed lands from availability to establish a homestead under the homestead acts. The policy is now for retention of the millions of acres and acquiring private property to add to the federal holdings. All these lands have been "nationalized". None of it is actually "public" anymore. [/QUOTE]
