  • "Colonel Ranald Mackenzie was a good commander; he and his men had built a reputation for accomplishing the impossible. But even he was in a position where he needed every able-bodies man for action over the border. He knew he was asking Lt. Baldwin to perform the near impossible in taking 300 blood-thirsty Comanches captives through Indian territory without adequate defense--and he had no hesitation in asking it because he knew Baldwin was a good man. But even the Colonel had qualms when it came to telling the lieutenant that he would have to defend his prisoners against attack from settlers who thought the only good Indian was a dead one."
  • "Lt. William Forrest Baldwin was dragged back from sick leave on urgent call and it wasn't for active duty he was wanted. No indeed. The Army wanted him to nursemaid 300 Comanche prisoners up to Fort Sill. He had been assigned only one platoon of men to protect his captives -- and naturally, the platoon were all "defectives", also barred from active duty ... The only man Baldwin could count on was his Sergeant. That made two of them."
  • "Lt. William Forrest Baldwin was flaming mad: he had been dragged back from sick leave on urgent call only to be told that it wasn't for active duty he was wanted."
  • "Lt. William Forrest Baldwin is dragged back from sick leave with orders to accompany 300 Comanche prisoners up to Fort Sill, armed with a platoon of "defective" soldiers barred from active duty.--"
  • "Colonel Ranald Mackenize is reluctant to send Lt. Baldwin with 300 blood-thirsty Comanche captives through Indian territory where white settlers want all Indians dead."@en
