06.25: Building the Columbia River Highway: They Said It Couldn't Be Done

2014-06-01 16:38:06| Powells Books Events Calendar

When 900-foot ice age floods carved the Columbia River Gorge through the Cascade Mountains to the sea, little space was left for man to form a highway of his own. It took an artist-poet-engineer extraordinaire to conquer this reluctant piece of real estate and produce the nation's first scenic highway. Ride along with Peg Willis as she explores the beginnings of this miracle highway and the men who created it in Building the Columbia River Highway (History Press).
