Shaun Admires Flowers and Views over Infamous Battle Creek Alberta

My good KZbin friend Shaun and Marietta are taking in the beautiful flowers and views of Alberta as the reach Battle Creek.
Battle Creek is a river that begins in the south-eastern region of the Canadian province of Alberta, near the border with Saskatchewan, in the Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park. From Alberta, Battle Creek flows east and across the border into Saskatchewan. It flows south out of Saskatchewan across the Canada-United States border into Montana, where it joins the Milk River in Blaine County, Montana.
The Battle Creek massacre was a lynching of a Timpanogos group on March 5, 1849, by a group of 35 Mormon settlers at Battle Creek Canyon near present-day Pleasant Grove, Utah. It was the first violent engagement between the settlers who had begun coming to the area two years before, and was in response to reported cattle theft by the group. The attacked group (led by Kone Roman Nose) was outnumbered, outgunned, and had little defense against the militia that crept in and surrounded their camp before dawn.
The massacre had been ordered by Brigham Young, the Utah territory governor and president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS). The formation of the Mormon settlement of Utah Valley soon followed the attack at Battle Creek. One of the young survivors from the group of 17 children, women, and men who had been attacked grew up to be Antonga Black Hawk, a Timpanogos leader in the Black Hawk War (1865-1872).

The lupin - I know about the North-America-based wild lupin species in videos about the country of Iceland, its quite a pretty but controversial plant there as it was introduced in the 1940s and since then it has taken over a lot! The campanula is very nice in this video.

Hey many thanks for that interesting Alberta plant information. As I've said before you know tour stuff! Best wishes from the Belfast Castlereagh hills.
