Nov. 20 – On this day in Montana history in 1877 an American Commission had returned to U.S. soil after meeting with Sitting Bull in Canada where he went after the Battle of the Little Big Horn. The Helena Daily Herald reported  “The Canadian authorities were puzzling over the disposition to be made of Sitting Bull and his band.” One of the commissioners reported that Sitting Bull was making threats to attack people in the United States. A Maj. Walsh reportedly said to Sitting Bull: “if he attempted to attack the American troops or traders from Canadian soil, (they) would shoot him on the spot.”
