Indian depredation claims, 1891-1900.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/301745450

This collection contains correspondence, legal forms, and transcriptions pertaining to several Indian depredation claims between 1891 and 1899. These cases occurred in Arizona, California, New Mexico, Wyoming, and Nevada, and were primarily administered by claims examiner John Wedderburn. The correspondence discusses supplemental information surrounding each claim such as the personal character of the involved parties and requests from lawyers for case related information. The legal document entitled "In the Court of Claims of the United States" summarizes the depredation claim by identifying the parties involved, the items stolen and their value, and the party responsible for compensation. The most common stolen property among these documents is livestock. Other claims request monetary compensation for wounds inflicted by Native American tribes during raids.
