The Missouri River is the longest river in North America, and its story runs through the heart of our history and culture.
Steve took a broad look at the river, its character, the story of human interaction with it and how it has shaped our cultures. It’s a big story and we’ll take little bites.
This presentation marked the first livestreamed Big Muddy Speaker Series event.
