That is correct, Dave. There is a very good biography of Maj. Robert S. Neighbors written in the 50s/early 60s (I think) about the Comanche/Kiowa and some other tribes reservation effort in the 1850s in the vicinity of Fort Belknap. Among other things, it tells the story of those three Indians and several incidents that finally led to the ending of the attempt to make the system work in Texas. A very interesting story. Neighbors was murdered at Fort Belknap, appearently in a random act of violence.
