Kent, (Dr.)

Farish, Thomas Edwin. History of Arizona, Filmer Bros. Electrotype Co., 1918, volume 1, page 105: The "Prescott Miner " of August 13th, 1870, says: "Bill Williams, for whom Bill Williams' Pork and Bill Williams' Mountain were called, was killed by Utes while trying to relieve the Fremont expedition which was searching for Cochetope Pass, which both Senator Benton and Colonel Fremont thought was the best pass for a railroad. Williams was 60 years old when killed. Dr. Kent was with Williams and both were shot by Utes while quietly smoking in camp, by a party of twelve bucks who entered the camp, professing friendship. The Mexicans in camp were unarmed. This statement is from Dr. H. E. Wirtz, Medical Director for Arizona, 1870."
