Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Memorial of S. M. Tibbits, A. M. Simpson and Others, Grantees of City and County of San Francisco, for Establishment of Southern Line of Presidio Reservation: In Accordance With Survey of U. S. Surveyor-General, With Reasons Therefore, Etc;, Etc;; January 30, 1874
There is no record to show, and no one can pretend that there was any Special tract of land known or recognized at any time previous to the above order as forming a part of, or belonging to, the Presidio. If there was any land outside of the enclosure, appertaining or claimed to appertain to it, such land was entirely indefinite in extent and position, and absolutely incapable of location. The truth of this abundantly appears from the fact, that when the above description was sent on by the Commissioner of the General Land Office to the U. S. Surveyor General of California on June 24, 1851, Mr. King, the then Sur veyor-general, was unable to fix the points and sent back to the Land Office at Washington for additional instructions to enable him to run the lines.
