Jethro Weathers

Jethro Weathers was a Confederate calvary captain. He intercepted George Armstrong Custer's unit as they chased Satanta's band of Kiowas. Custer had been prepared to cross over into Confederate territory, but Weathers' arrival ended that plan. Weathers made it abundantly clear that he and his men would defend C.S. territory.

The two men traded insults, with Weathers expressing his digust at the election of "Black" Republican James G. Blaine as president of the United States.
