 Hazard and General Quaint journey to the "Great White Father" in Washington, D.C. to protest, campaign on their demands to honor their promises of good faith with U.S. War Department and the Secretary of War himself and army brass and government officials to reverse their decision and allow Hazard to keep his word to War Eagle.Finally General Quaint calls 21st President of the United States himself at the.neighoring White House, on a new-fangled thing called a "telephone" and off-handedly referring to the Chief Executive as "Chet", (Chester A. Arthur, 1829–1886, served 1881–1885), warning him that he was in a lot of trouble with these Indians after Lt.Hazard refuses and throws down his offered "Congressional Medal of Honor" (the highest American military honor), submitting his resigned officer's commission.
