I don’t know if Bent’s bio is but there should be affordable used copies available on Amazon
The carson book is pretty easy to find. And I believe still in print. Used copies ought to be pretty cheap.

"Come, shall we go and kill us venison?
And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
