Claims of Indian depredations against James Barry described
James B. Barry alleges loss from Indian depredations on the frontier. He names Commanchie and Shawnee figures, Waypoints near Camp Cooper on the Clear Fork, and a sub agent forcing surrender of horses. He cites a 67 year old claimant living at Walnut and notes a 10 percent annual loss since 1857, totaling over ten thousand dollars. Correspondence shows congressional action and a proposed Court of Indian Depredation Claims as the viable path to relief.
