Sharing the Fascinating Ice Age Floods Story Since 1995
The Wenatchee Valley Erratics Chapter of the Ice Age Floods Institute will meet Tuesday, October 8 at 7:00 PM, at the Wenatchee Valley Museum and Cultural Center, 127 S. Mission, Wenatchee. Or via Zoom link https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84520197937
Our speaker is Dr. E.F. Cater, Director of the Douglas County Museum in Waterville. Dr. Cater will explore “The Rush to Oregon Territory,” how the twisting and turning of 19th-century society crossed up with the Ice Age Floods.
An odd happenstance occurred when a delegation of Salish men from the Walla Walla area traveled to St. Louis. They sought out their old friend, General William Clark, with an unusual question. This little spark caused a rush to Oregon Territory for reasons different than what Manifest Destiny has led us to believe.
And the stirring of this pot brought the discovery of fantastic geological features like Grand Coulee. Join us as we take a look at Western Expansion.
The program is free and open to the public.
