Mount Walsh

There isn't a lot of information about Mount Walsh available. This peak, like the most of the others we've discussed thus far, is located in the Saint Elias mountain range in Yukon Territory. It was named after James Morrow Walsh, a Royal Canadian Mountain Police superintendent. James Morrow Walsh was born in Prescott, Canada, in 1840, and is best known for his work with the Sioux Indians who crossed the border into Canada following the Battle of Little Big Horn.

Walsh was able to work with the tribe and became friends with Sitting Bull, the group's leader. Unfortunately, the Canadian government did not appreciate his friendship and placed him under house arrest in 1880. They thought Walsh was the reason Sitting Bull and his people refused to leave Canada, but it was the horrible treatment they received from Americans that kept them from returning to their homeland.
