Certain Washington City politicians were conspiring to have Colonel George Armstrong Custer murdered before he can aspire to the Presidency.

Part of their plot was also to use the NewsMedia to dishonor and disgrace Custer. In those Pro-Civil War days, Freedom of Speech was he who had the fastest gun. Other crimes involving politicians were also going on in those days as is mentioned in the book. Back then and today, lying, slander, character assassination, libel, hatred, sedition, all of these sins are covered by Freedom of the Press. Fortunately, our weapons of Truth and the Sword of the Spirit, our Bible have a greater power and will gain the final victory.
