Show Notes

In the final episode of our exploration of the Missoula Floods, we travel to the Columbia River Gorge and the Willamette Valley, where the human side of the floods' story becomes clear. Join me to discover how the floods shaped indigenous culture, how they instigated an economic cold war between Britain and the US, how they made the continent's largest overland migration possible, and how they changed the face of travel in America.
