  • Description: Review: Federal ground: Governing property and violence in the first US territories. By Gregory Ablavsky. New York: Oxford University Press. 2021. Pp. ix, 350. $39.95. "The truth about stories is that that's all we are." This is one of the repeated refrains in Thomas King's 'The Truth About Stories: A Native Narrative'. King is an American-born Canadian author and Indigenous scholar. His book, a collection of public lectures, is not the subject of this review, at least not directly. But King's book is relevant to the work that is our subject: Gregory Ablavsky's 'Federal Ground: Governing Property and Violence in the First U.S. Territories', an incredible, expansive inquiry into the origins of federal property titles and, more broadly, federal jurisdiction and sovereignty in the first U.S. territories at the end of the eighteenth century.
