The #BattleCreekMassacre was on #ThisDayInHistory in 1849 during the #LDSChurch settlement of #Utah. A group of 35 #Mormon settlers surrounded a camp of 17 people from the #Timpanogos nation & opened fire. Four were killed. The sneak-attack was ordered by shitheel #BrighamYoung.

The #LDS move into #Utah involved a number of acts of great violence against #Indigenous Americans, like one on #ThisDayInHistory in 1850. 90 #Mormon militia surrounded a #Timpanogos camp and killed up to 100 men in the #ProvoRiverMassacre while losing just one of their own men.

Mount #Timpanogos on a December morning in #Utah. Timp is the gem of the #WasatchRange in my opinion! #mountains #mountainphotography #landscapephotography

Spent the day getting ready for thanksgiving. It was pretty cold today. I am already starting to miss summer. Local mountains here have goats all over them. This guy let me get close enough to snap this with my longest zoom.
