About this listen

Host Jack Maddox chronicles the Lewis and Clark Expedition's harrowing 1805 crossing of the Bitterroot Mountains, where waist-deep snow, starvation, and collapsing horses nearly ended the Corps of Discovery. This episode examines how the expedition's dream of an easy Northwest Passage died on an Idaho ridge, saved only by Nez Perce generosity and relentless human endurance.
