Description
Excerpt from An Historical Sketch of the Town of Littleton
The white people took possession of all the land in the Colony by virtue of their charter from the Crown of England, and the Crown protected them merely by its power.
Thus we see why it is that Indian deeds are and were of little value in conveying a title, for the Indians, having no stable government, had no power to enforce a title, and therefore a title acquired from Indians could not stand against one from the Crown.
