Item description from seller

The depredation claims detailed in this report were brought by non-Native individuals who alleged that American Indians had taken or destroyed their property. Claims could only be submitted against tribes who had entered into a treaty relationship with the federal government. Of course, the report ignored the two hundred years of settlers' brutal treatment of the Indians, and it was published in the midst of the enforcement of the 1830 Removal Act (generally referred to as "The Trail of Tears") forcing all the tribes in established states to relocate to territories west of the Mississippi. As such, it represents an interesting, if depressing, record of what was being discussed in the Congress at the time. The report was signed in February of 1831, but apparently not officially printed for the Congress until 1833. This copy has been extracted in its entirety from a larger volume, retaining the back strip. The text is age toned with a few scattered signs of foxing, and there is a small ink mark at the top of the first page. No other marks or damage. Near fine for its age. AS. 23rd Congress, 1st Session, House of Representatives (1833-35).…
