As I understand it, it wasn't simply a racial slur written on a rock, but the name of the land itself, was "Niggerhead".

If that is true then the name "Niggerhead" was on the lease Perry signed, no?

No, in fact, you can see the deer lease here http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s213/RedCarlisle/huntinglease.jpg

  The proterty is called "River Ranch"

Uh, no. The term "Niggerhead" most likely forms no part of the legal description of the tract in question.

Why would anybody be dumb enough to think that it was? Seriously.

The legal description for that tract probably looks something like this (as a "fer instance"):

320.8 acres, more or less, out of the T. & N. O RR Company Survey No. 11, A-712, Throckmorton County, Texas, and being the same land described in that certain Warranty Deed dated January 27, 1974, from William J. Clinton to Rutherford B. Hayes, recorded in Volume 683, Page 264, Deed Records of Throckmorton County, Texas.

See any "Niggerhead" in there?

Back then signed lease agreements were far and few between, most were just a handshake and a check.
