   • 1899, James Curtis Ballagh, “Southern Economic History: Tariff and Public Lands”, in Annual Report of the American Historical Association for the Year 1898‎, U.S. Government Printing Office, page 257:

     In Louisiana and Missouri there were two chief forms of grants—urban and rural. These urban grants consisted of inlots, outlots, and common lands, very much like the Pennsylvania plan, but on a broader basis. The earliest settlers, for social reasons and protection, seemed to favor settling together. The rural grants varied from several hundred to thousands of acres, the league square, consisting of 7,056 arpents, not being unusual.
