O.P. McMains and the Maxwell Land Grand Conflict by Morris F. Taylor Published by the University of Arizona Press; Tuscson: 1979
O.P. McMains was born in Milford, Ohio. His ancestry can be traced back to this grandfather, William McMains who was from Pennsylvania. This book focuses on the Methodist minister's "radical" activism as representative of settlers in the area of New Mexico and Colorado known as the Maxwell Land Grant. McMains held that the land in question was actually public land, open to homesteading, while the Maxwell Land Grant Company maintained that the land belonged to the company, and homesteaders who had not purchased or leased land from them, were considered tresspassers and subject to ejectment. The book provides some genealogical material concerning Oscar P. McMains, his siblings, his parents and grandparents.
