Instructions To County Surveyors Of Nebraska

In 1914, Nebraska State Surveyor Robert Harvey published a book that dealt with many subjects on land surveying that had never before been seen in print. Harvey had amassed 45 years of experience as a U. S. deputy surveyor, county surveyor, and state surveyor and wanted to share with other surveyors his expertise in finding the original section corners placed by the surveyors of the General Land Office. A fraudulent method he deemed the "Short Cut Method" was uncovered and fulled explained. Harvey's book quickly caught the attention of surveyors, engineers, lawyers, judges, and universities all across the nation. Only a limited supply was published and it became one of the most sought after authoritative books on surveying. This is a reprint of Harvey's 1914 manual of instructions, complete with original photos, diagrams, and text. Nebraska .licensed land surveyor Jerold F. Penry adds a preface to the reprint as well as a biography of Robert Harvey at the end of the book. 9780967904153 0967904153 86 BOOK NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=qSC-oAEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api en
