The So-Called Reserves

The So-Called Reserves: the poster

The title, measured: the Grand below Brantford on the Nation’s own map, the Tract six miles from each bank and the six-mile line graded by its evidence, with the Six Nations and New Credit reserves each split into the part inside the Tract and the part outside it; why a reserve, which needs the Crown’s title, can lie only outside; and the acres of each. The web edition reads each part at a tap and can show only what could be a reserve; three roads walk out from 1784, the Patent is signed before your eyes by the Crown alone, and the Tract shrinks on paper square by square.

SubtitleA reserve can be made only on land the Crown holds. The Crown does not hold the Tract.
