No Native American in U.S. history has provoked more emotion and interest than Sitting Bull. His often-misunderstood role in the Battle of the Little Big Horn and his subsequent self-imposed exile in Canada, above the Medicine Line, has rarely been explored. The events that followed the demise of General George Custer and his 7th Calvary brought together some of the most fascinating characters of the post-Civil War frontier era, Sitting Bull and his fellow Sioux chiefs, and U.S. Army Commander Nelson Miles.As they sought to escape the wrath of Miles and his cavalry, the Sioux nation trekked north. At the Medicine Line, Sitting Bull and 5,000 followers were met by a man wearing a red coat. His name was James Morrow Walsh and he represented the Great Mother and was the only white man Sitting Bull would ever trust.
