Sitting Bull toured with Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show for one season in 1885...in North America's eastern cities..... the Indian agent on his rez, wouldn't allow him to do a 2nd season. Buffalo Bill hired American Horse and Black Elk to replace him. The Show went to Europe (England) in 1887. It was in Italy in 1889 performing for the Pope among others... it was likely at this time that Buffalo Bill was in Venice, but without Sitting Bull....

I've met Tom...and Andrew a couple of times, and liked them instantly

but as Farley Mowat once said.. "I never let truth stand in the way of a good story"
