Описание:
The battle was the pinnacle of the Pemmican Wars and the escalating trade dispute between the HBC and the NWC. A party of Metis and First Nations men, led by Cuthbert Grant, was heading west of the Forks to deliver pemmican to the NWC canoe brigades on Lake Winnipeg. They were confronted at Seven Oaks by HBC Governor Robert Semple and 28 men. A battle took place that resulted into the death of Semple. The Metis people called it "the Victory of Frog Plain".Добавлено на ленту времени:
