A West Point cadet maintains that McCord wasn't a coward, leading the USMA to sentence the youngster to be drummed out, unless he apologizes to Professor Beecher, his history teacher. Given a 30 day sabbatical to decide, Cadet Bain tracks down McCord to a failing silver mine, which the Great Stoneface hopes to revive. But extracting answers from McCord about the disastrous Battle of Bitter Creek, may be as tough as solving the mystery of the mine's constant flooding.

A Washington, D.C. Western? Yes. McCord and his retired-general father are called to the nation's capital by President Ulysses S. Grant, who plans to develop the West by opening up the Federally-owned (and Indian-held) Black Hills for prospecting. Grant, who by this time had numerous enemies, picks up even more from Western big shots who hoped to exploit the Black Hills on their own, which leads to an assassination attempt while he is driving his carriage one night.
