Beecher Island: A Western Story / By Tim Champlin. 2010 Large Print Hardcover Edition. Waterville, Maine : Thorndike Press, 2010. 325. Matt Talbot was a scout with Sharp Grover and Bill Comstock at a parley with Cheyenne Chief Bull Bear along the Solomon River in western Kansas. The year was 1868. The Army was concerned about an uprising among the young braves. Comstock was so confident in his mission that the trio came without a military escort. Although he would tell them nothing, Bull Bear granted them safe conduct out of the camp. But before long the sentinels were replaced by a band of hostile Cheyenne braves who attacked the trio, killing Comstock. 20110628. Scouts - Fiction. Large Type Books. TXBAY
