Litigation between Klamath Tribes, the United States National Bank of Oregon, and the U.S. government, 1977-1981
Scope and Contents
The collection consists of the papers of Charles S. Crookham, a Multnomah County Circuit Court judge from Portland, Oregon. A substantial portion of the collection relates to legal issues concerning the Klamath Tribes. Among these materials are records, dating from 1977-1981, from the cases United States National Bank of Oregon, etc. v. Klamath & Modoc Tribes and Yahooskin Band of Snake Indians, et al., and United States v. United States National Bank of Oregon, which concerned payments for parts of the Klamath Indian Reservation lands. Also included are legal papers of the law firm Vergeer & Samuels, where Crookham worked as an attorney, that relate to Klamath individuals and estates. The bulk of the Vergeer & Samuels material concerns guardianships that had been managed by Portland attorney F. Darold Windsor, most of which were being taken over by Vergeer & Samuels.
Other materials in the collection include appointment books kept by Crookham from 1978 to 1988, detailing his daily activities; a small amount of correspondence and ephemera; records relating to litigation involving F. Darold Windsor; and materials relating to the Oregon State Bar's misconduct complaint against Windsor.
