Biography: 

Lon Quick is "the constable" (19) in Frenchman's Bend. In that role he intervenes in the dispute over the cow between Mink Snopes and Zack Houston. (In this novel there is also a reference to a "Solon Quick" who might have been the man who saw a bear "three years ago" [34]; it is possible that these are the same character, but we treat them as two different ones.)

Note: 
In the fictions there are both "Lon Quick" (4 texts) and "Solon Quick" (3 texts, all later). These might be two different names for same character, and Brooks indexes 'him' that way, as 'QUICK, SOLON, 'LON.'" But others (Dasher, Kirk) separate them into two different characters with almost the same name, and that's what we have chosen to do too.
