A podcast that aims to go back in time to trace an event or instance to its beginning through several threads of continuity across time, space, culture, people, and historic moments. We will cover the length and breadth of human history and prehistory, depending on the topic. Some of these threads might have tenuous connections with one another, but all are threads of the tapestry of history!

05 The Johnstown Flood

This episode is on the Great Flood of 1889 in Johnstown Pennsylvania, its origin through the catastrophic failure of a neglected dam and the massive reservoir behind it, which was created for a short-lived canal, and the greed which ultimately led to the destruction of Johnstown.
