Walls, fences, and hedges of every form and variety known to man may be set up, and taken down, but the surveyor's instruments and the re- corded deeds are a court from whose decisions no appeal can be taken. The unpretentious plain board fence that sepa- rates us from one of our neighbors has intro- 8 HISTORY IN A BACK YARD duced ns to the whole question of methods of marking boundary lines, to the complicated sub- ject of surveying that has in the beginning deter- mined where these boundary l...ines are to run, and to an elaborate legal system that has been developed for the purpose of establishing and maintaining the claims of rightful ownership. On the other side of our back yard, there is no indication of private ownership of property, — neither wall, nor fence, nor hedge separates us from our neighbor's apple trees and rhubarb, we share his garden seats and his lawn swing, and we in turn offer him the hospitality of our berry bushes, our grape vines, and our summer house. We know indeed that the boundary line has been measured to the fraction of an inch and that its location has been duly described in the deeds of ownership of the two adjacent properties, and that these deeds are presumably deposited in two respective safe deposit boxes in one of the city banks.
