No one going to point out that you would need half a million dollars to buy all that today? This kid was rich!

Also, cleared 18 acres?! I'm assuming that's forest because of the location, and damned sure didn't have powered machines to help. Dude must have been built like a tank.

Maybe he found a good spot where the vegetation wasn't as dense and tall?

Also, it's the 19th century. How long has it been since native populations were much higher? Could have been an overgrown old field.
