Scott Anderson
Scott Anderson, professor emeritus of geography, had his latest book, Pricing the Land: The Buying and Selling of Frontier New York and the Cayuga Reservation, published by Cornell University Press over summer 2024. Building upon his service as expert witness in the Cayuga Land Claim trials of 1999-2001, Anderson traces the history of land sales in the territory on the northern side of Cayuga Lake. Although the Cayuga Nation was awarded $247.9 million in compensation, the award was overturned in 2005. He concludes Pricing the Land with a conservative land valuation estimate entitling the Cayuga to twice the original judgement amount.
