Joshua K. Ingalls

Joshua K. Ingalls (July 16, 1816 – 1898),[1] born in Swansea, Massachusetts, was an inventor, and land reformer who influenced contemporary individualist anarchists despite never self-identifying as one.[2] He was an associate of Benjamin Tucker and the "Boston anarchists." He believed that government protection of idle land was the foundational source of all limitations on individual liberty. This was in disagreement with Tucker who, while also opposing protection of idle land, believed that government protection of the "banking monopoly" was the greatest evil.
