Senate Document 55
(Last updated July 16, 2016)

In 1813 and 1814 northern tribes of Indians believed to be the Sac and Fox tribes caused depredations (property damage, theft) against recent settlers near Boonville, Cooper county, Missouri. In 1815 depositions from the damaged settlers were taken. In 1826 these claims were presented to Congress (19th Congress, 1st Session) as "Senate Document 55" titled "Memorial of the state of Missouri and documents in relation to Indian depredations upon citizens of that state."
