November 1869 CE

Métis under the command of Ambroise-Dydime Lépine turn back McDougall's party near the United States border on November 2 and force them to retreat to Pembina, North Dakota.

The number of Riel's followers has grown rapidly.

That same day, Riel leads about four hundred Métis in seizing Fort Garry without bloodshed.
